<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>There should be some notes in the archive about this, but here's what I've done in the past.&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV>This is a coaxial cable.&nbsp; Radio shack has some single conductor shielded microphone cable that works just fine.&nbsp; Disconnect your battery ground, and remove the ECU connection from the ECU.&nbsp; Open it up and find where the green wire connects.&nbsp; The shield connects to a pin with another wire, as I recall.&nbsp; The center conductor is on a pin all alone.&nbsp; All you have to do is replace it using the same arrangement as the green wire.&nbsp; At the spade connector, the shield is left open-ended about an inch above the connector.&nbsp; The sensor them plugs to the wire.&nbsp; Be sure to use heat shrink on both ends to keep the shield from fraying and possibly shorting to the center conductor.&nbsp; Easy repair.</DIV>
