That its about 20-25 ish for the sensor. The coolant temp sensor is between 20-50 bucks and it takes a 3/4 or a 19mm wrench to remove.. Hope that helps

Negative. Stick to your 3.1.....you've obviously never opened the hood of a 3.8 series 2 before.

Scotty is correct, it's under the thermostat housing on the drivers side of the intake. That is the ONLY temp sensor for the engine. It feeds the PCM, and the PCM is what feeds info to the cluster.

for the cup holder, that hole center peice usualy gets replaced,
contact Ed : Morad Parts Company - Your source for 3800 parts!

The whole peice comes out pretty easy:

Engine off, Put gearshift into 2nd gear, then remove the liner from the center storage bin, then pull up on the center console top peice, starting at the storage bin and working forward, the cupholders should be folded out for this...

Oh, and if you have heated seats the switch and plate need to be lifted up an either detached or find a way to squeez it through the hole. ( i found a quarter is perfect to pop up this switch plate, weird huh
