Is there an easy way to get the ECT sensor off?

It looks like I might have to remove the throttle body right now, and I'm not sure if thats going to be easy, or more hassle than its worth.

Thanks!
 






Pulling the throttle body is easy to do. Its just 4 8mm bolts (I'm pretty sure they are 8mm and not 10mm) once you have the intake tube off. If you still have the "snow shield" over your TB then that comes off too and that is only 2 bolts/screws.

Also, remember the ECT sensor for the ECU is the one with multiple wires. The one with a single wire is for the gauge.

Looks like I got it done.

Had to replace the TB gasket, and I put anything on the gasket even though I know I should have.

Put it all back together and it runs good.
