Oops, what did I just break

I got my headers and cat-back installed on my 96z, but after I finally got the driver's side in, I noticed a sensor just below the header the was broken off. What is it, and where can I get a new one?

Re: Oops, what did I just break

Make sure you get the right one; your car uses 2 coolant sensors. The one in the head is for the coolant gauge; the one in the waterpump is for the PCM.
