coolant temp sensor R&R ?
I have a 96 and I need to change the ECT sensor on the water pump. Do I have to drain out all the coolant first? Just wondering how much will come out when I remove it and certainly dont want to splash the opti. I recently put a new water pump in and just changed over the old sensor with it. Now I am getting a code and the temp goes haywire and the engine stumbles. Thanks

It would provide more protection for the opti if a plastic bag was positioned over the opti held in place with rags jammed into the crevices.
As Pete919 suggested, be prepared to remove/replace in a organized movement.
Do not remove the surge tank cap, as this will slow the flow of coolant.
Make sure you have the correct replacement sensor by comparing the connector pins.
