Default Multi-Function Temperature Sensor

Where is a good location or vendor that has these things available!? It's the sensor that is on the firewall side of the coolant hose. Any thoughts? My coolant gauge works but not well...after some reading it could be a quick fix if this MFTS is replaced...can this be verified?

Thanks for the advice! I'm assuming there is a writeup on how these are replaced? Or is as simple and unplug, plug back in? Thanks again!

Default Hmmm

I perused AutohausAZ's website as well as called them and they only have available a 3-pin temperature switch. That's not what I'm looking for is it? From what I understand the MFTS is a sensor and not a switch...and they tend to get old and crumbly from going thru so many heat cycles over the years and are more of a plastic piece where the actual sensor resides inside the coolant pipe...can someone help me locate one? or show me a photo of one so I may have better luck locating one? Sorry if this is ridiculous, just trying to get the car in better running condition.

Contacted Dan with 034_Motorsports and he directed me to what I have been looking for...It's nice being able to talk with a vendor that knows what he's selling! Just thought I'd share in my search and what I was able to find. Happy holidays to everyone!

it's a switch and sender, iirc. New ones are 3-pin (common ground), old ones are 4-pin.
