The two sensors in the thermostat housing on an LG4

What are they? They're both busted on my car. Can I order them from some place? I've had no luck at the local junkyard, and it's loaded out the *** with LG4 cars.

The one with black and yellow wires is the coolant temperature sensor(CTS) and the other one is a thermal vacuum switch(TVS). Any parts store should carry them.

Here's roughly what your vacuum hose routing should look like... the object in question is the EFE TVS
