It has 46+K on it and yes, this is my first CPS. Car cooled down, replaced the sensor, checked OBDII, no codes, all seems well. My car had a plastic shield attached to the bell housing which made any tightening by hand, impossible but I used a small ratchet with a long extension and it didn't take long, about 15 minutes. I have a question for the real brains here, what is it that goes bad, it does not appear to have any moving parts. I was wondering if a good cleaning of both the sensing end and plug contacts with electrical contact cleaner would make it perform as new. Anybody know?
