Coolant temp sensor

Anyone who has a GOOD spare coolant temp sensor they don't need, please let me know. I'd like to put a good one back in that doesnt peg my gauge within a minute.

First question is have you checked to see if it is in fact your sender that is malfunctining?? and second (just a FYI) when I bought an aftermarket sender for my late '99 it all looked right but when I went to install it the plug in on the new unit was different...so I just re-installed my original that was fine-(I was installing a new water pump)

Ive got one...but it my old one. I thought it was bad cuz of high AE readings, replaced it and it still shows high reading so im guessing the old one is still good and somthing to do with the wires. Not sure if its different with auto or manual.
