Also, could someone tell me how to adjust the TV cable? I read the tech article, but it seemed vague. Should the key be on when I do it? Do I push the actual WIRE in or?

The temp sensor plugs into the sensor. The sensor is right below the intake, to the right a little...

On the TV cable there is a block where it mounts on the bracket . on that block there is a large button that you press that releases the outer sleeve of the cable so that you can slide the outer sleeve in and out.
Push the button and slide the outer sleeve all the way in towards the bracket .
Get in the car , with the ignition OFF , press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and release.
This automatically adjusts the cable.

Sometimes I have had to adjust the cable slightly by hand from this point to get the shift to my liking.

Yeah, key off, you'll see everything move when you push in that "D-shaped" button with a screwdriver. (I've never been able to push mine in with my thumb.) The cable has a slider on it that can "pop out" towards the front of the throttle linkage. You'll see a notched rectangle, a little black oval, and the cable sticking out of the middle of these. That whole piece (rectangle,oval,cable) moves in/out of the TV adjuster.

Which temp sensor? There's three. One at the back outer corner of the passenger head, single green (i think) wire, that's for the electric fan. One at the front outer corner of the driver's side had, single green wire, for the dashboard idiot light or temp gauge. Third is where KJRockz said, I think a two wire connector, one yellow one black? Been a while since I stared at that one.
