I am installing headers and broke this. It is a temp sensor I think but what is it called? When I went to remove it coolant came out. It is on the driver side at the front of the car right beside the header. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Based on this picture...you had better inspect all your spark plugs for cracks.
Probably the ECT as others said...know that its "Critical" to the engine operation so do yourself and the car a favor, don't attempt to drive it till you replace it.
Sooo, you want to know what the name of the sensor is that, when removed, coolant comes out??? Ummmm, how about "coolant temp sensor"???
I was dumb enough to break it, what makes you think I'm smart enough to name it properly

good to know. I was going to start the car to make sure it runs properly but I will wait until the sensor has been replaced.
I broke the coolant temp sensor also while putting in my headers! Picked one up at the parts store and it's all good! Now, i'm just waiting on ECS to send back my pcm so i can start up my car and hear the new headers!
you guys are making me feel better about breaking it
hows this...gene culley's price $20.30. List price for the part here in Canada $44.20 my employee price was $27 but still pretty crazy hey? so glad I don't pay list!!!!
