Looking for torque specs for spark plug on 2.2L 2000 sunfire

Right now i just need the spec for the coolant temperature sensor and the spark plugs. I did find another thread for a ecotech containing alot of part specific torque specifications. http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=2&i=368262&t=368262 would any of these apply to my 2000 2.2L OHC engine?

Also

The coolant temperature sensor that i bolted back into my new coolant pipe is now leaking due to under tightening. I then tightened it to 90ft-lbs. I did't have and "RVC" lube to apply to the threads. But The coolant which was slowly seeping out of this sensor area was driping on the serpentine belt and metal pulleys. The belt or something is slightly squealing or hissing. Its hardly noticeable, it's not like a power steering pump squeal. Should I do somethign about it or it not a big deal.

Well to stop the leak from coolant temperature sensor, I would recommend using some teflon tape on the threads of the coolant sensor, Just tighten it snug it should stop leaking.
