if your harness only has one plug you have a 94+ mx3 and you dont need the second sensor...

Are you sure about that? I wouldn't have guessed judging by these questions you're asking.

X2
Use the one farthest from the cap.
Take pics of the hose so we're sure what your talking about or point to it in the on line manuals.

That coolant pipe you speak of goes to the Throttle Body and EGR and stuff.

IDK if the green and black sensors have the same range, but use the green one.

I guess they're the same then. I've been using the green one. ,
