benzmac: interesting comment reguarding the length, i must have just gotten lucky in what i did i suppose. I didn't have it originally in the car, so i installed it into my car along with the cluster it came with, and used speaker wire for the wires all the way around, i ended up routing it through the firewall and around a whole bunch of stuff, so i'm sure it has a much differant than factory length. My temp is consistently withing 1-2* of actual, unless i'm sitting in traffic or at a light, then it says it's hotter than it is. This 15 year old sensor is 10 times more accurate than my g/f's 2001 pathefinder's, even with how rigged mine is. Go figure!
