Re: coolant sensor

On the 96, i believe there is only one, and it is undernieth where the throttle cables hook onto the throttle body. Not too difficult to change at all, you dont even need to drain any coolant. Just need a 19mm deep 3/8 drive socket, and a swivel. This is a 3 wire sensor. Two wires controll the PCM (fans) and the green wire controlls the the guage on the dash. It is possable for one to work and the other to not. Its a cheap part, 15 bucks i believe. You may want to start there.
