i smell what ur steppin in now drew. that sounds like my easiest option! ill just ride around with my actron scanner plugged in for now so i know what its running at until i can get the parts. it will probably be a week or so. i do have the pcm sensor in the existing hole, it seems to be holding fine, but its about an 1/8" longer than the other one and bottoms out inside the manifold passage. im just gunna ride with it as is unless it starts spittin ut coolant in which case ill wrap some more teflon tape around it. maybe i will do it all the right way once it warms up, but its chilly and i dont have heat in the garage.
