Oh NO! Here I was waiting for the holy grail solution that would forever change the way we repair the 2.6 Well, I guess it proves it doesn't matter how new the part is, it can still be defective. Just between us your instructor that got zapped checking the plug wires should get a D- for failure to follow through to the right solution. I still can't figure out why it was a problem after the engine warmed up... don't look a gift horse in the mouth. BTW, make sure the numbers on the new transducer match the old. Apparently it matters. I had to bring the old one in for the dealer to match it.
