While preparing to remove the intake I came across this and it has part of it broke off. It's on the front driver side .

I forgot , It has a green with light green stripe wire connected to it
 
Thanks again for the quick responses, I was worried I would have to replace it.

+ 1 Fan high.

My temp gauge is there now, and the ECM has an accurate temp signal still.
 
Coolant temp sensor used by the ECM. The broken part is the lip that holds the connector on.

Nope, sorry, it's the high temp switch. The one used by the ECM is just below the one pictured and mounted on the front of the water passage.

I stand corrected. :wink: I looked last night. Guess my memory is not as good as I thought! :eek:
 
A good way to remember if it's an ECM sensor or not is that the only 1 wire sensor that the ECM uses is the knock sensor, from what I recall.
