Please keep your money or donate to a good cause.

Temp sensor tells the computer or the fans what the coolant temp is.

Thermostat is a valve that keeps the coolant from flowing until the coolant warms up to 195 degrees. They can "stop opening" and cause the car to over heat quickly. Without a thermostat your can would take forever to warm up in the winter.

Ok, thank you, Gorn. Have a good weekend. it's just that to replace both are the exact price at a body shop here in san diego ca: 185 dollars which set up some minor red flags. Thanks again.
