Ok, you have three sensors on this engine that work together to manage the temperature reading that are sent to the gauge. i recommend checking all three to be safe. i will list the sensors and, locations below.

1. Coolant temperature sensor- Under hood, driver side, upper engine area, above transmission bell housing, mounted in driver side end of intake manifold.

2. Engine Temperature sensor- Under hood, driver side, upper engine area, mounted on rear cylinder head

3. Temperature switch.- Under hood, center, lower engine area, above oil filter, rear of coolant temperature sensor, mounted in engine block

91 olds toronado won't start battery has full charge.key may need programmed?

Only reprogram if you know it needs programming otherwise you are wasting your money. Take the key to a main dealer and ask them if the programming is still working as you are having trouble starting your car.

They should be able to tell you if it needs programming or not.

Location of BCM and ECM on 92 olds. toronado

I'm not 100% positive about a 1992 Toronado, but on my 1986 Toronado the BCM is behind and to the upper left of the glove box, and the ECM is behind the right side kick panel in front of the door. GM had a habit of moving them around from year to year.

Need to replace the heat sending unit on 1991 buick regal but cannot find where the part is located can you please advise me of where the heat sending unit is

If you mean the engine temperature sending unit, it should be on the cylinder head and has a single wire attached to it. It looks a little like a miniature spark plug with a black insulation. To simplify your search, buy the new one and look for the same thing on the engine.
