The temp2 sensor provides engine/coolant temperature
information to the ECU so it can provide the proper
air/fuel mixture at a given operating temperature. It
is located in the left front of the engine compartment
on the left side of the thermostat housing. A second
temperature sensor is located on the front of the
housing that connects directly to the temperature
gauge on the dashboard.

My sensor was telling the ECU that the motor was cold
even after it had been run, so when you tried to
restart, it would provide extra fuel and flood the
motor.

Good luck,
