Help with name of broken sensor

I searched for my answer but came up empty.

[2001 Civic EX four door with 1.7, AT] One of the thermostat housing bolts broke (despite my torque wrench having already tightened one to 9 ft-lbs without a problem) so now I'm knee deep in removing the water passage so I can try to get the bolt stub out.

Unfortunately, as I removed one of the nuts near the EGR valve holding the water passage my combo wrench let loose and it sheared a plastic sensor just behind the EGR (a bit closer to the firewall than the EGR valve). I've tried searching the parts diagrams but I can't seem to locate it, so I cannot figure out a name.

I tried to attach a pic with the broken plug circled in white indicated by an arrow. Link to pic.


I suppose if I head the salvage yard for a replacement I don't need a name/part number...just my tools (they are a bit of drive though)....

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with your engine, so I cant identify it. Posting the picture should help someone else identify it for you.

I did try to attach it to the post, but wasn't sure if it went through (the interface was not confidence inspiring) hence my link.
Thanks for doing that.

Cross posted on another forum. Just saw there that it looks like it is the oil pressure sensor for the VTEC valve.
