found out my problem with my dl it is the thermo sensor , does autozone carry them ? or napa? advance ?

Autozone, Checker (Schuck's) and Napa all carry it, most stores actually have it in stock.

thanks , with my luck they will not have 1 in stock

called autozone 100 bucks special order not in stock , well i do have a spare 1 so i will use it

any cross refference ? would any other coolant temp sensor from another car work ?? thanks

we called the soob dealer and they indeed have one in stock. i had to specify its the ecu sensor, 2 wires witha green clip. they wanted 76.55 for it, but i managed to talk him into a 10% discount. jim went to go get it, i told him to make sure to "swing that deal"!
