Re: what is this sensor??
Wait a second, isn't the sensor the one on the intake manifold near the thermostat? The thing between the 6 and 8 cylinders is a thermostatic switch for the fans.
Why does my car (89 Firebird, TBI, 305, 5 speed) have two: one in the above mentioned place, and one beween cylinders 1&3?

I think the one between 1 and 3 is the temp gauge sensor.

intake coolant passage - computer engine coolant temp sensor
passenger side head - electric radiator cooling fan switch
GM likes to install a lot of sensors.
