Hello, while doing spark plugs I've just found that I've had a sensor wire burn through! I don't know how long its been like this, but can someone help me find the right sensor and pigtail?
Its between cylinder 1 and 3.
Weird thing is I don't think I've had any problems due to this? I'm pretty sure my gauge works, and I replaced the one for the fan on the passenger side.
You can't get one with that "mushroom" style connector on it, that I know of. Other than that, it's as ordinary as can be. Should be in stock at the parts store down on the corner. New ones come with a regular ¼" slide terminal instead, takes the ordinary kind of connector.

So I just got my car started again for the first time in a month, and I had to be sure, but my temp gauge still works even without this sensor?
I'm fairly certain it's worked for as long as I've had it, and I don't think I've ever had it connected, as I've been around the spark plugs and the intake plenty.
How is this possible?
I'm gonna get a new sensor and wire today, but curious nonetheless.

I'm left wondering this;
You are 100% certain the gauge works. And yet that is the sensor for the gauge, with no wire connected to it. Could perhaps that sensor had died long ago, and a previous owner couldn't get it unscrewed from the head, and then went and installed a new sensor elsewhere on the engine?
