Thanks, Dennis, sorry for the dumb question.  There is a temp 2 sensor.  A
rose is a rose is a rose, but a temp 2 sensor is a Temp 2 Sensor, Temp II
Sensor, Temperature Sensor for Fuel Injection (GoWesty), Coolant Temp
Sensor (Van Again), Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (Bus Depot), Water
Temperature Sensor (Van-Again), and Temp II Sensor, ECU (Airhead) .  Why
should I be confused?
