Calm down chill out!! Just what engine??
just how bad did it break off???
Are you talking it broke off flush or below the block??
Is there anything left to grab hold of a turn it out??
Were all pretty much just guessing here!!!
Pretty much worse case is drill it out!!:jessica::jessica::jessica:

ez outs are easy. drill a pilot hole in the borken bolt and then put the eeze out in the drill. throw the drill in reverse (leftyloosey mode) then slowly push the easyout in the pilot hole until it bites and it should lock on the broken bolt and start backing it out. heat may help, not sure.

Drilling and using an easy out is your only hope. Make sure you center punch the broken part because you want to be as much in the middle when drilling. Then using an easy-out, slowly apply pressure until you get movement. I had to do this on a 10 mm bolt on my water outlet when I did my timing belt. Mu8ch smaller hole and got it on the first try. Start with a small drill bit first and then work your way up to the size of your easy-out.

welp borrowed an eeze out and got it right out of there but one more question, looking from the drivers side, the sensor directly to the right of the ECT sensor is another sensor. can someone tell what that sensor is?

I forgot or you didn't mention the engine, but assuming V-6, 3.0. This topic should answer the questions.
