From reading a thread this morning, it looks like the intake manifold needs to be removed to get to this sensor.

How long should this take a shop to do? I was going to make an appointment for an oil change soon anyway. What I am trying to decide is whether or not to wait or drop the car off for the day.

I don't need everyone telling me to do this myself. I don't do mechanical work. Not going to happen.

15 mn job if you don't remove the manifold. Here is a link with plenty of info:

I hear ya it's on my to-do list, bankrolls' been a little thin lately. Bills gotta come first.
