Default What sensor is this?

There is a sensor right behind the intake on the drivers side and its screwed into the block I believe. It only has one wire on the connector. Any clue what this is and what it takes to remove it? It's right beside another sensor that has a 10mm or so bolt holding it in.

Ended up at NAPA and left with that fresh feeling...of being raped. $60 for the sending unit, and $12 for the socket later, the sensor was fixed. Now one of the damn fuel injectors is leaking! Does it ever end?
