Dual temp sensor was dark on one side and sparkling clean on the other - looked strange and I don't think it was delivering the correct data.

I don't have any known errors for that part, and plan to currently focus on the known faults. Also, that part (am familiar with it, but thought it was the sensor [not switch, let alone double switch, as it is called] used by the instrument panel temp gauge) seems to be at the back end of the head, under the intake manifold, so it's not like I'm "in there" ... yet

Any info on accuracy of it being called a switch vs. double switch (and if so, the temperatures) vs. sensor. I see real OEM calls it a double switch, and somewhere referred to it having a four wire connector, but then it seems to also be common knowledge that it is the CH temp sensor. ???
