Coolant sender location

The gauge stopped working the other day right after i changed my spark plugs (that was fun) I remembered that there was a sender between the last 2 spark plugs on the pasenger side. While i was checking it out, the connector broke. No problem, got a new connector and a new "coolant sender" I think that the sender with the broken plug was for the fan. Where is the gauge sender?! I found a sender below the TB, but its not the same as the sender i bought. It has a 2 pin connector on it. I disconnected it, and i got a C?S code 13? I need my gauge back!!

Omega,

The CTS for the gauge should be at the left (driver's) cylinder head. The one at the front of the intake coolant crossover is for the ECM temperature reference.

3. Guage sender is in drivers side head between cylinders 1 and 3, ECM sender is in manifold, and cooling fan switch is in passenger side head between the 6 and 8 cylinders.
