How did you manage to get your sensor for 9 bucks at the dealer?! Mine charged me $25 for mine!! And I lot a ton of coolant when I did it...but the car was pretty warm still as I had to run back to the dealer to get the right sensor. And it was a Saturday in winter so light was limited.
Good write up though!
*word of warning* there are two different sensors for the cars. One is D shaped and one is square. There was a switch in '99 between them. The dealer gave me the wrong plug the first time, even though I gave them my VIN so make sure its right!
