lol, thats the dash temp sensor. maybe just the problem
The multiwire one on the manifold is for the ecu

shouldnt no. Its just a heat variable resistor that earths out the gauge slowly as the motor gets hot, giving you the needle rise. If its totally open cct, the needle should never get off the ground. If it was dead short then the gauge should be off scale.

Thats a strage scenario you have really. Cause it shouldnt operate at all if that wire is dosconnected. Maybe that wire you had was not the temp sensor wire. Have search on here or google for some picrures of where the sensors are located. If its the temp dash gauge sender unit, it will be on the base of the inlet manifold(under the throttlebody) next to the ecu temp sensor (so theres 2 sensors there beside each other).
If the cluster is still working(albeit badly) then theres definatly a wiring or cluster issue there.
