[alfa] Cat temprature probe info

[Jon Pike <jhpike@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all..

Well, here's my Homer Simpson move for the week. (I hope)  Been fooling 
around with the new cat,
and have had the temp sensor disconnected and tucked away under the fuel 
line while it was loose.  I've been having trouble getting it to fit in 
the new cat's little pipe.

Well, off we go, the wife and I,  last Sat for a afternoon drive around 
the back roads..  Ahhhh..  wonderful!!  But, what's that occasional 
thunking noise while we're driving down the road?  I pull off,  it 
dissapears.. look here and there..  but not under the car yet since it 
sounds like it's in the trunk or the top fabric is snapping 
occasionally..   Suddenly I realize..  I took the temp sensor down the 
night before, forgot to tiet it back up, and I've been dragging it down 
the freeway for the past 5 miles!!!  D'OH!!!!

Of course it's chewed up,  the actual tip part snapped off and the rest 
looking like, uh,  it had been dragged down the road..  Now I dont' have 
to worry about the little ridge at the end preventing it from fitting in 
the new cat...

So, finally.. anyone know the type of thermocouple that it was?  Likely 
candidates for a replacement probe?  Need to know the type so that it 
will read the right temp with the stock module, if I choose to replace it.
