The temp sender is a brass thing on your water housing at some place, and uses only 1 wire, fitted on by a spade terminal. It has fallen off. I will come over shortly and plug it back on for you.

Depends what hybred system you have rigged up.

Probably the back of the head.

A factory standard Toyota EFI FWD motor has 3 temp sensors. AE86 had 2.
1. temp gauge
2. computer
3. thermo fan (located near thermostate, but not on AE86).

The sender for the gauge is the simplest one, with only 1 wire, and will be that same as what 70's Toyotas had. The other 2 senders have plastic and are multi pin.
