Oops! I broke something
Well I broke my ECT sensor... (the one above spark plug #1). The pins are still straight and there, but the plastic coasing that the output sensor clip fits into broke. I can put the slip over the 2 pins, and it seems to stay straight, but i plan on going to the drag strip Thursday night and im worried it might **** something. I have solid motor mounts so its not like the motor is going to rock it off, i just wanted to know:
1) how expensive they are
2) should i get one from the chevy dealership or autozone
3) is there anything i should worry about??
thanks

Anyway mine was the more expensive and harder to find '98 one and I still picked it up at NAPA for like $20 I think. Pretty sure the other one (the one you need) was cheaper though.

I did the same thing and went on the power tour with it taped on. Over 1800 miles with no issues. At the time I just didn't have the time to worry about it and the car ran fine. Now if it gets disconnected, it will make the car go wacky because a lot of the settings are engine coolant temp dependant like spark and fueling.
