MR_Loyale Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Are third party coolant temperature sensors acceptable or are they garbage? Should I get the Subaru part? Ea82 spfi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I've only bought 1 new one, from a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Do you recall how much it cost? I am seeing about $70 for third party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think it was 90. I figured it's a 20 year part, why mess around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Replaced the one in my '88 with aftermarket, seemed to work great. Even got the fast-idle warm-up back. Want to say less than $50.00 thru rockauto, but local parts store should be able to get the parts for you. IDI Brand Sensor # 17-1233, (TX-18 type) BWD Brand connector #28419A. Cut stock connection off old one, solder/shrink-tubed it to the new connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
