fixed you link for you

If this this the four wire plug (which it looks like) fine the hose that comes from the tip top of the Rad. follow it to the block and it should be there, slide the clip out, remove old sender and refit, remember to use the o ring thou.

If you're quick you can do old out - new in without losing any coolant.

tip top of the rad wheres that sorry to be dump but dnt know alot but no a little

Do it when the engine is cold.

I knew this, but in a 'i know the fire is hot but i will put my hand in it anyway' method i ignored my own advice, enter massive coolant spray everywhere!

This help at all. I changed a similar sensor on mine and later found out it was AC related and it did buggar all with idle.

Have you cleaned out your throttle body? Give that a try as that is normally the problem when ive had idle/stalling issues.

I think you will be hard pushed on a Sunday, i would say its a dealer job or a scrap yard if you can find one that is open and has a car with one.
