Default Water Pump Finally, Broken Sensor ?

After finally getting the water pump out, noticed burned up wiring connector, it goes to a sensor directly below the small coolant pipe just below the throttle body on the block, it looks simple to replace (hex head top). Which one is it and since the harness connector is shot is a replacment easy to find?

Thanks

I think that might be the coolant temp sensor. Not sure about a replacement connector.

It's either coolant temp sensor or cold start temp switch.


The plug on the cold start is the same as the fuel injectors. The other is a weatherpack connector..
