Coolant Temp Sensor (CLT). There are two of them - one for the gauge cluster and one for the ECU. Basically, you need the one for the ECU. It runs about $25 at Autozone.

Not off hand. Just call up Autozone and ask for the coolant temp sensor. Tell them there are two of them, and you need the more expensive of the two. Although I would adivse replacing them both. It's less than $50 for both. If the one is shot, chances are the other isn't too far off. They're right next to each other and whatever caused the failure of the CLT likely is working against the gauge sensor as well.
