Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. I believe I suggested replacing this in your other thread.
This one sensor is Vital to many subsytems of the car including idle rpms, air/fuel mixture, fan control, emissions diagnostics, Fuel delivery control and tranny operations.
When it goes bad it tells the PCM the car is cold and so the PCM will make the mixture Richer and dump loads of fuel into the engine. This then floods the engine and you cant start it.
