There are two temp sensors, most likely..... The one wire sensor is for the gauge in the dash, two-wire sensor is for the PCM. The connector on that one likes to get brittle, because of where it is..... and fall apart. Leads to some interesting performance issues.

Should be easy to find..... Any parts store should be able to get 'em for ya. Numerous websites will list 'em as well. On the engine, they are on the front of the intake, in the front coolant passage. One is right next to the thermostat housing, the other is on the passenger side, near the heater outlet.

Hi There and thanks for the help.
Took into a mechanic, and he states when it dies after warm-up, it has no spark. Thoughts?
