The 98 sensor is not common. I tried to get one once and it took 3 days.
Sorry that I didn't get the PMs until just now. As I said, the ECT is referenced by alot of tables. I'm not sure that by dropping the CL entry point you will get the car to run properly. I had suggested to him that as a quick fix, try to determine how many ohms resistance it will take to get it to read in the 190-200 temp range. This would simulate operating temp for a quick TEMPORARY fix. The other thing that you could do is put in the 99+ sensor and wire it to the plug. Your gage wont read but atleast the PCM would know what temperature the car is at.
