There are several coolant temp sensors on the motor and they all go by nearly the same names.

The two wire sensor on the thermostat housing is a switch for turning the fan on.

The one wire nipple plug sensor near the distributor reads temperature for your gauge cluster

The two wire plug on the head near the one wire nipple plug is the TW sensor I believe and it tells your ecu when your car is warmed up. This sensor can cause bad idle. When it is bad it usually throws a code 9.
