on my 01 which the 98 motor was in only needed the one wire sensor
That may be the case, but, it's not in the 01 anymore. 96 uses two. You need to either forgo the gauge in the dash, or come up with a place to put the second one. Otherwise, it will never run right. Should be a two-wire pigtail toward the drivers side of the thermostat housing for the second sensor.
