There are two. The green one goes up by the radiator in the lower hose. 
Which one you need depends on the problem you are facing. I've replaced a 
dozen of each on customer cars! I tend to get them confused, but IIRC the 
one up by the rad is for the gauge and fans, the one on the back of the 
passenger cylinder head is for the ECU.

Whats your code/complaint/etc?
