Coolant Temperature Sensor

I found out why my Check Engine light came on. (see posts below) Bill UK told me to pull the EFI 15, so I read up on that and found out it holds codes. I don’t own a diagnostic machine, but I started reading what the codes could be and started checking them off while under the hood. It didn’t take long to find what was wrong. The Coolant Temperature Sensor was broke, the plastic female end. I used some airplane glue to put it back together for now. From what I can see, it looks like it screws into the rear thermostat housing. Am I correct, or will I have to replace the whole rear thermo housing? Has anybody out there ever have this problem before.

Thanks,
