Yep.

The sensor at the forward end of the block talks to the computer, the one at the firewall end is the gauge. I replaced the former, but both met spec with an ohm meter and boiling water, and, if the aft sensor doesn't work, the gauge shouldn't.

Its getting down to the ECU, but I still haven't figured out how to get one I can honestly trust.
