Dang, you are correct to assume what you have. 3 prongs does the PCM and the IP. Older ones have two sensors, one for the PCM and one for the IP. So if you're running hot, First guess would be the coolant sensor. But you would need a scanner to confirm this.

SOURCE: Saturn VUE 2003 Thermostat Housing--how to replace?

I would recommend factory parts only for this application. Find a Saturn dealer and ask for the thermostat housing, and it should include the thermostat. It is an updated part due to the thermostat sticking issue. As far as replacing it, the thermostat is below the upper and lower intake manifold. You need to pull the upper manifold up out of the way. To do this remove the 6 T-30 bolts holding it in place. There is a connector they will be below the intake on your right, this needs to be unplugged before pulling the intake up too far. The lower intake may have internal or external torx bolts depending on the year and date produced. Remove all 12 bolts and pull the lower intake out and the thermostat will be on your left, between the cylinder heads near the timing belt cover. There is a solid tube that connects the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing, it is attached to the engine by an external torx bolt near the oil dipstick tube. Remove the hose from the transfer tube, then unbolt the tube and twist back and forth to remove. DO NOT pry on the bolt flange of the tube this will break off and then you will need a new tube. Keep twisting and pulling and the tube will come out. Once the tube is out simply unbolt the thermostat housing and install the new one. A couple tips for this, one is don't drain all the coolant, just remove the upper radiator hose from the transfer tube and drain whatever comes out of there. Draining all the coolant will introduce alot of air into the cooling system which will be tough to remove. All the air has to be out or the engine will over heat. You will only need maybe half a gallon of coolant if this procedure is followed. I also usually over fill the coolant a little to allow for any air trapped in the system to escape with out lowering the coolant level far enough to turn the low coolant light on. The labor for this job is about 2.5 hours for a professional, if you haven't done much work before allow at least double that to complete this job. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 2002 honda civic stalls, loses power

The Sensor thy are talking about is also called the crank position sensor. It is located behind the timing cover at the crank pulley. if you open the timing covers you can check the timing belt at the same time. check the belt for play and missing teeth. if belt is OK replace the sensor. (follow the wire behind the cover to find it.

SOURCE: what does a engine coolant temp sensor do?

yes some coolant sensors do, others just monitor the coolant temp,, the fan switch should be mounted on the radiator, " a plug with 2 electrical terminals on it " and can be tested by bridging the contacts with a pin and the fan should run if not the switch is at fault..

Cooling fan sensor 2010 aveo lt where is the location relay and fuse good fan runs only when jumped to battery

Has two relays fan hi an fan low . did you see that ? ECT sensor - engine coolant temp sensor is a input to the ECM - engine control module . The ECM monitors the coolant temp . when the temp reaches a set temp. the ECM will energize the fan on low speed by suppling a ground .If the sensor ECT was bad would have a check engine light on an a codes set. Your best bet would be to have a qualified repair shop check it out .Hook up a scan tool .

2003 chevrolet trailblazer 4.2 problem code p1481

See attached picture for location of temp. sensor, but that code has nothing to do with temp sensor. The speed of the fan does not agree with the commanded speed, you may have another bad fan clutch.

The code P-1651 and 1650 come on on my Saturn SC 1 auto. Does any body know WHAT that code means ? The light is itermitent, some times it stays off for 60 miles some time comes back on in 6 feet . Thanks...

p1650 and p 1651 are quad driver module codes the quad driver controls 4 outputs hence the name quad they are the1 cooling fan circuit
2 a/c clutch
3ses light(service engine soon)
4and shift light

if any of these issuses are malfunctioning they will set the codes you are talking about, the sneaky thing is that if the ses bulb is bad in the instrument cluster it will set the code as well. hope this helps

95 grand am radiator fan only runs with AC on

Cooling Fan Temp Sensor is the First thing You Check (with what you have described) Cooling Fan Should ALways come On When The A/C is turned On as A/C Adds A Load to Engine, If Temp Sensor is Faulty it Will Not Give GROUND Signal to ECM >For COOLING FAN >RELAY to Give ground and turn ON The Fan.
There ARE 2 temp Sensors that Serve Different Purposes 1 is for Dash READING GAGE & Or TEMP LIGHT the Other is For ECM or Fan Relay (SAME Thing) you Said>""can disconnect the sensor and fan continues to run" < This Leads me to think you Changed the Wrong One. Not Questioning your Skills Just Here to Help.
TEMP SENSOR FOR 3.1L V6 is Located upper RH rear of engine compartment, near exhaust system. Temp SENSOR for 2.3L Engine is Located in LH rear of engine compartment.

Cooling fan wont work

The water temp sensor is located near the thermostat housing. This sensor is what tells the ECM to turn the fan on/off. The water temp sending unit is located near the same area. You know you have the correct sensor is because the water temp sensor has a 2 prong plug. The water temp sending unit only has 1 prong.
