164 coolant temp sensor plug

[Jeff Matson <jsm8@domain.elided>]

Just FYI,
	For 164 owners fighting the infamous lousy connection at
the Motronic coolant temp sensor on the thermostat, I've run
into an everyday source of this connector.  AutoZone carries
it (at least in some stores).  It's not genuine Bosch, but
fits and works fine (at least for me).  Didn't cure my
stumbling, but eliminated one of the possible causes at
least.  It's on the rack, called a "Bosch fuel injector
connector" and described as fitting some coolant temp
sensors as well.  I haven't tried, but would bet this would
also replace any of the other 2-wire Bosch connectors in the
engine bay (IAC, etc).
