Here ya go: (Edit: These numbers are from the '95 Ford Contour/Mystique shop manual)

32-58 deg F = 100K - 37K ohms
59-104 deg F = 37K - 16K ohms
105-158 deg F = 16K - 5K ohms
159-194 deg F = 5K - 2.7K ohms

If it's colder or hotter than those numbers, I wouldn't be working on it anyway

I don't think that the absolute value matters all that much, just so it's in those ranges. It's a thermistor so ohmmeter polarity shouldn't matter, but you might want to check with the leads both ways anyway.
