Unidentifiable Sensor on 2.5L

Hey all, another hopefully quick question about one of the sensors on the engine head. Just wondering what this sensor is? My initial assumption was it is a coolant head temperature sensor however my searches for a 98 ranger 2.5L CHTS sensor have turned up very different looking sensors...


The sensor

Another view

The connector for the sensor.

A picture of the head I found online with the sensor hole circled.

Should be the oil pressure sender/switch

Just one wire, its for the dash board oil pressure gauge

Shown here: https://ww2-secure.justanswer.com/up...124053_oil.gif

Not sure if the temp sender is still there on the 2.5l, its also just for dash board temp gauge, so NOT the ECT sensor

The 2.3l DOHC Duratec 4cyl engine used a CHT, 2002-2011 Rangers

Thank you! Wanted to replace it while I had everything apart. Managed to pick a new one up from Advance. I don't believe this truck has the CHT sensor, I definitely don't remember seeing it during disassembly or reassembly. Thanks again!
