Haha, it was actually pretty advanced at the time.


The evaporator temp sensor is quite a pain to replace, you have to remove the box which contains the evaporator and then open it up. On some of the cars it the sensor is actually stuffed into the evaporator fins and on others it is suspended right in front of it. My 92 was one way and the 94 was the other way but I can't remember which was which. Unfortunately this isn't a job for the do it yourselfer. I would take it to a reputable shop, and take this opportunity to fix it correctly and remove the retrofit connectors, and charge it back with r-12. Also, don't forget to have the receiver dryer replaced.
