Default Replacing Connector to ECT sending unit

I have a 1997 Accord Sedan LX with a F22b2 engine and my temperature gauge in the instrument panel is no longer reading. I referenced the ECT sending unit connected to the engine block and noticed that the female connector with the yellow/green wire has pretty much come to pieces. I need to know the correct gauge and proper connector to put on the wire in order to reconnect to the sending unit. I have been to my local auto parts store and been through several different connectors but I can't seem to find the right type of connector to crimp to the wires in order to get to the sending unit. Any advices would be helpful.

You may want to go to a you-pull-it junkyard to get the connector and some wire.

If the "bone yard" doesn't work out.....ask the parts store if they have a new sender for the gauge and then use that to find the right size female "bullet" style connector.....again the sendor for the temp gauge should be a single "bullet" style connector.
