I just got a price to fix my engine temp sensor and for a tune up this person wants to charge me 425 does that sound right? It is on a 2002 ford explorer 6 cyl 4 door....

that depends greatly on what is included in their "tune up". for the coolant temp. sensor, it takes about 1 labor hour to replace which is normally around $100 without tax or parts..

Just to show you, how that might have been resolved, had you told them that you would bring it back later!

Please Don't Slam you Keyboard Around!!!

If I plugged in your info exactly right (had to guess the 6 cyl engine)

And Just think if you were still hesitant----

We might be reading a question from you:

2002 Ford Exploder: Where can I locate my Temperature Sensor on my engine----my "NEW MANUAL" shows a Temp sensor and a Temp sender, which is it?

SORRY---THATS WHAT IT TOOK FOR ME TOO START FIXIN' MY OWN STUFF (A PUSH INTO REALITY), ESPECIALLY WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH, INTO THE "SEVERITY" OF THE TASK, IT MIGHT BE EZ (as changing a temp sensor)!!

CAN WE STILL BE BUDDIES?

WILL YOU REMEMBER ME, NEXT TIME YOU ARE READING THE "SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SECTION" OF YOUR "NEW MANUAL"?......IF NOTHING ELSE.......

"TRY" TO DO WHAT IT SAYS, WHEN IT SAYS, THE REST OF THE BOOK WILL HELP YOU DO IT!

AND THERE'S ALWAYS US.....YOU'RE ALREADY A MEMBER, SHOOT US A FEW, FREE QUESTIONS!

LOVE YOU, TOO!!!
