Done! $24.29 @ dealership. Haven't driven it yet. I would like to add that it is a PITA to get it out, easiest way is to turn it back and forth while pulling toward you. Also when installing the new sensor, I rocked it back and forth while putting it in until I couldn't any longer, trying my best to keep it lined up. Then I took a flathead screwdriver and put it in between the black plastic connector and the bolt hole and tapped lightly with a hammer. Worked great. Well I'm off to test it out, I'll post thoughts and pics when I get back.

Has anyone with a 1995 tried this yet? I want to do this, but I still don't understand if I can or not.

That is the ONLY place to get it since it is an OEM part. Either at your local dealership or online at a Ford parts retailer like Gary Starr at Atascadero Ford or Bill Jenkins (not sure where he is now). It's $15 from Gary and $25 from the dealer ... the dealer may be somewhere between the 2 prices. It takes 15 minutes to do and cost is minimal ... try it and if it doesn't work, put back your old sensor. Be sure to save both the old sensor and the old retaining bolt as they are size matched ... the new bolt is longer because the new sensor flange is thicker.
fpo.com has nothing on this part; even if I search for the word turbine. I'll go to the dealer if I have to, but if I can get it for cheaper at fpo.com I'd prefer that route. Can anyone find the part there?

Well, I picked up the part today, it was the right one. Even included a piece of paper inside that told mechanics that it was indeed the right part even if it looked different.
I'd like to install it, but I can't crack the damn lugs on my wheels no matter how hard I try. Anyone got any tricks?

spray some wd-40 on or take it to a tire shop, tell them to loosen them and then let you tighten them. they can be a PITA to get off when they use impact wrenches on them. Or just work out some until your strong enough to get them off, they will come off if you put enough force into it.

Quick Q:
Is it imperative to disconnect the battery cable?
Last time I did that, the system kinda shorted or something when I reconnected it, for some reason. Or at least it acted very very funny when I attempted to start it up again. As in, it didn't want to do anything at all. And it freaked me out that it was cracklin' and crap when I put it back on the post, but nothing was on in the car.

breaking your lugs can be a pain, but it is all about leverage! unless you have a big air compressor, impact wrenches will not work. goto home depot and buy a smaller pole that is strong (metal like) but big enough around as to where you can slide the pole over top of your T wrench or socket wrench and I guarantee it will make your life sooo much easier now, and in the future.
