ID this sensor

[mccomas]

while looking for my oil pressure sending unit, i broke the lead off of this sensor. the tip of the sensor is broken and the sensor will have to be replaced. this is on the left side (driver's side) of my motor. it is just to the rear of the most forward spark plug and had a green wire on it. this pic was taken straight on with the spark plugs located from left to right. i need to know what is so that i can get a replacement. thanks...

That would be a coolant temperature sensor /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

The tip of the sensor looks fine. The connector on that comes in from the side on a 90 degree angle. The sides of the connector fit over the end part of the connector. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

i thought that i broke a tip off of it. i will go back in the morning and see if i can slide the connector on from the side...

Coolant temperature sensor...for the gauge only.

The tip of that looks fine...it should look like the head of a nail.
