Default ECT Switch vs. ECT Sensor - Is it the same part? What is the difference?

My '95 LS has the following

<LI>ECT Switch</LI><LI>ECT Sensor</LI><LI>ECT Sending Unit</LI>

The temperature in my instrument cluster reads correctly so I do not need the ECT Sending Unit. What are the other two and what is the difference? Is it the same part? Looking at the Acura maintenance guide the part looks very similar.

I believe my ECT thinks that the car is cooler in temperature than it actually is, resulting in excess gas injected into the engine - does this sound like the ECT Switch or ECT Sensor?

ECT Switch or Sensor? Or Both?



ECT Switch?



ECT Sending Unit

the one on the 3rd pic is for the cluster signal this one is under the dizzy, the 2nd one is the switch this is the switch for the fans located on the thermosthat housing, and the first one I'm not sure but but I think this is the signal for the ECU and I think is also under the dizzy.
