    M20b23 coolant temp sensor? And low power

    Im having problems with my 1985 323i. It feels very low on power around 3-4k rpms especially when it heats up. Today it started to backfire and studder while i was driving.

    I have been doing some research to fix the problem. I will start with the obvious things like spark plugs, wires, fuel filter and intake boot/hoses. I did notice my temp gauge flickering as well so i will be replacing my coolant temp sensor (brown) my question is there is no blue sensor and the brown sensor seems to be in a different spot from what ive seen in changing tutorials.

    Here is a link to the pic , im hoping it works im using a phone and having trouble uploading pictures with the website. https://ibb.co/dt97ca

    I see the brown temp sensor on the left where the blue sensor usually sits on the 325i e30s. I ordered a sensor off amazon ( brown) i was hoping someone can verify the correct sensor. My haynes manual isnt helping at all. I appreciate the help!
