Im looking for the temp sending unit that sends the reading to the dash. I know it should be close to the throttle body i would assume but cant find it. Can anyone help with sopme detailed info.

It should be a 1 wire sensor that's pretty close to your coolant temp sensor.

had a picture for you, but car domain is sucking today too. anyways, there are two switches next to the throttle body. one is a one wire, spade connector. In the FSM it is F117 and it's called the Thermal transmitter.

The other switch is the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (F116). It should be a typical clip type connector. I can't remember which one is the dash switch and which is the ECU head temp sender, but my guess is F117 is the dash sender.

behind the throttle, next to the coolant temp sensor. That bit of harness that comes down to your tps, cas, and coolant temp sensor it's right there. Notice that there's a Y in the harness that goes down to your coolant temp sensor, that other black sensor that's to the right is your temp gauge sensor.
