Temperature Sensors
I've been searching online on where to buy temperature sensors. Since there are only 3 of them, I am going replace them all and get it overwith (fan switch has already been replaced). I'm looking for the thermo time switch, the temp. sender for the gauge, and the temp sensor for the fuel injection system. Autozone has Wells part numbers TU79 (unknown, $13) and TU350 (thermo time switch, $25). No coolant temp sensor.
NAPA has an Ignition coolant temp sensor # ECHTS5561($30). THey also have a cold start valve temp switch # ECHTS6119 ($98!)
Are these the right parts that I need? Is there anywhere else to get them cheaper? Thanks!

Re: Temperature Sensors
Thanks for the links!
So what is the difference between the Wells $25 thermo time switch from Autozone and the $120 Bosch thermo time switch, or the $90 thermo time switch from German Auto Parts? I am of the firm belief that you get what you pay for 9 times out of 10, but I can't understand a $100 difference unless the Bosch one is made pure gold or something....

As you say, you get what you pay for...
I've always used the oem parts from germanautoparts.com . I'd rather replace a part once and know that it's good for another 15 years instead of planning to replace it again the following year.
