coolant temperature sensor

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what the name of the "housing" is that the coolant temperature sensor is attached to. This is on a 1995 E-250 with a 351 w. The "housing" then screws into manifold just behind the thermostat housing. The "housing" is like 4-5 inches long and has a hose attached to the top of it. Anyways mine is broke and everyone around here has no idea.. I am going to attach picture.

This picture is the wiring diagram.

I am not sure if I am following you. CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor) is threaded directly on the intake. I think it requires a deep socket to remove. There is also a coolant tree on the intake with heater line, EGR and sender. Is this what you are talking about?

yes, on mine the coolant tree you are talking about has the CTS on it and a heater line. The EGR is on the other side. The tree is directly behind the thermastat housing. Did you see the picture? Thanks.

Line for sender should be on the tree, not the CTS. CTS should be threaded in.

Picture -- I am not sure if you are changing it, but now I see a Box Diagram "Repairing Multiple Cylinder Misfire". What's going on?

That is funny, because i went back to check original post ant the picture is different than the one I posted. Alldata must have some kind of bug so you can't use their picture. I just went back there again to post the picture and it was changed again. So I dont know what to tell you. I do know this and im looking right at diagram. This tree is on drivers side of throttle body right next to the idle air control valve. it screws into intake, it has cts coming out of it then has coolant line on top of it. The EGR is on passenger side next to throttle body. This is the 351 w, with oil cooler if that helps. I wish i could post this picture. for some reason i can't paste this picture. thanks
