Default removing my engine harness, I broke a sensor....what is it???

Im removing my motor so I can build my bottom end, and while I Was removing the engine harness I couldnt get the wires off of this sensor and I ended up breaking it. I unscrewed the sensor and coolant started coming out so I put it back in. It is below teh vtec solenoid. Here are some pics.




TIA!

i think its the one your cluster reads for the temp, but not 100% positive

You are correct. It is called the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT sensor).

actually the signal is sent to the cluster from the temp gage sending unit. It has a yel/grn wire with a female bullet connector on the end.

Also you can still drive with it like that for the time being, only thing is your temp gauge on your cluster isnt going to work..

Not only that, the ECU uses it to calibrate cold fuel enrichment.
