What am I tryin to say is that you seem to be referring to the passenger side location between the 6 and 8 spark plugs (three prong sender) as the temp sender location. It is not. That was the emission control TCS sender location. The temp sender (one terminal) goes in the drivers side cyl head between the 1 and 3 spark plugs.

I was trying to give you info on where to get an accurate, single wire sender unit for less than the price of a cup of coffee, after all the searching I did to find one that didn't falsely tell me my car was overheating when it was barely warmed up.

Do you have the single green wire coming off the alternator wiring section of your engine harness? That is the temp sender lead that goes to the sender between the 1 and 3 spark plugs and feeds the signal to the gauge in the dash.
