I looked this up and about 90% sure this is a water temp sensor, but not sure which to order. It’s on the left side of the thermostat housing, when facing the vehicle. Anyone got the part number by any chance?

I saw that also… that was my 90% certainty part. I think you’re correct it’s the 3FE graph.

The water temp sensor is for the ECU.
The water temp sender is for the dash gauge.

I am not sure the 3FE had an A/C cutout for coolant temp.And is the “Water Temp Switch” for A/C cutout?
Thank you, this is very helpful. It also prompted me to go ahead and order an EWD manual.I am not sure the 3FE had an A/C cutout for coolant temp.
There is a feed to the ECU from the AC relay to tell the ECU that the AC clutch is engaged, which pushes the ISC to increase idle speed, but I don't see anything else in that circuit.
From the EWD:
THE CURRENT APPLIED TO THE ENGINE ECU FLOWS THROUGH TERMINAL 7 OF THE
AMPLIFIER ACTIVATING THE ECU TO PREVENT ENGINE SPEED DROP IN A/C OPERATION. THE A/C OPERATION IS SHUT OFF WHEN
A SIGNAL INDICATING LOW EVAPORETOR TEMP., OR ABNORMALLY HIGH OR LOW REFRIGERANT PRESSURE.
WHEN ONE OF THESE SIGNALS IS RECEIVED, THE AMPLIFIER SHUTS OFF THE A/C OPERATION.
