Yes above is "new style" ECM sensor and not light/gauge sender.
New plug is much better @ keeping water out.
Plus/Worse contented that way may have fried the part. Put the tip in water w/ thermometer and check chart See my Cave, Sensors Quick Ref
TFW parts are gauge/light sender. pins go to resistor or switch and ground thru case.

Put away the ray-guns and use one of these as a test tool. It's new and direct and doesn't need to send the results thru an engine wire harness that may be iffy. I keep one on the shelf. Prices and quality vary. Stay away from ones with just 3 colors on the scale and no temp numbers whatsoever.

To answer your question, where is the one you have now supposed to go. It is the ECM temp sensor - Listed at the Coolant Temperature Sensor in this pic. It only goes to the ECM and has nothing to do with the gauge. And as stated before, the sensor is not electrically the same as the temperature gauge sender.

Hey so I finally got enough money for all the parts y'all said to get and it works! Sorry it took forever to get the parts, test them and let y'all know how it went but that's life, right?
Got one of those mechanical sensors you were talking about, Spoon. It read the same as the gauge in the dash so it's all good!
Really appreciate you guys, I was stumped!
