Also, do check the wire for any fraying ... on both sides of the firewall. And definitely the contacts. For all you know, your sensor may be just fine.

Are you sure you are using the right breed of the temp sensor. I think there are two breeds and lineage is also involved.

Something like the blue one replaced the black one. And for the rest it is the green one. Completely ignore the order of the colors in my post cause I am not really sure of that.

You probably know this, but I just wanted to make sure.

The two different coolant temperature sensors are not interchangable; they have different electrical connectors.

That is a relief! Thanks for the info. I did notice that there was almost a 1:3 price difference on the two.
