What sensor is this? Okay, while I was doing my cam install, I accidentally broke a sensor on the front drivers side of the engine. Its right above the first spark plug, closest to the front of the car (drivers side). I used some electrical tape to patch it for the time being, but the electrical tape doesnt hold it that great (plastic clip broke) ... I believe it is a temp sensor, since when the sensor wire starts to come loose the temp gauge goes all the way down, then back up, and the car changes its idle to compensate, making it very annoying to drive.
Is that what this sensor is, if so, does anyone know the part number off-hand so I can reorder another?
Thanks guys.

Re: What sensor is this?
Sounds like you got the coolant temperature sensor. That's where it's located. Replace it soon. The car's gonna give you a fit until then.
Any idea of the part number?
