The engine coolant temperature sensor is the sensor that is screwed into the thermostat housing on the top front of the engine.
1990 Chevrolet Lumina temperature sender is located on the back side of the thermostat housing. The sender has a wire that goes to the temperature gauge.
temp sender located
Your engine may be running in open loop due to a defective coolant temperature sensor, which on my 1991 Cherokee L6 is located on the thermostat housing. This is different from the coolant temperature sender, which is located at the rear of the valve head next on the driver's side.
the coolant sender is located at the back of the head 2to 3 inches down,very difficut to get to to and undo

The temperature sender is a one wire sender and should be located on the driver's side of the block, near the firewall. It will be located almost directly below the oil pressure sender. You can also check thegauge by touching the wire to ground. When grounded, the gauge should read full hot. Hope this helps.
I have the same problem on my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 and was told it's a bad pressure monitor sender that wasn't reading the pressure correctly. I'm not sure if this is correct and I am continuing to look into the problem. MY 4.0 WOULD PEG OUT HIGH AFTER YOU STARTED IT. IT WAS ALWAYS THE SENSOR LOCATED BELOW THE DISTRIBUTER. NOT TOO HARD TO SEE. HAPPENED EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS( 50K-60K MILES)
