I'm still trying to fix my <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/4000/msgs/178337.phtml">stalling issue</a> and figure I'll try replacing the Coolant Temp Sensor as recommended.
From searching the Archives, I think that is the the bottom sensor with a metal clip on the engine block where the top radiator hose goes into it. Is this correct?
Looking at the AutohausAZ.com website, I can't find a Coolant Temp Sensor.
I find two different Coolant Temp Switches:

an Engine Temp Sensor

and a Temperature Sender Switch:

From the looks of it, I'm thinking maybe the first Coolant Temp Switch shown above? Although the photo for the Engine Temp Sensor looks the same. Making matters worse, other Worldpac websites show different names for the above or even different ones, so I'm a little confused.
I guess what I really need is a Part # for the sensor/switch that I need to replace.
Thanks.

Then I could be of help, as that PN gives me the correct sensor on autohausaz and impex. The one at the very top looks like the one you need though.

the 2nd one looks like the ones that go on the turbo cars, and the 4th one is for the temp gauge in your instrument cluster.
3rd one is pretty much teh same as the first iirc as the engine temp = coolant temp.
