Engine Temperature sensor longevity
How many miles should I expect to get out of the ET sensor? Mine went out at 20k. Anybody had to replace this one multiple times? Thought that I saw a thread stating that they weren't too reliable somewhere.

I've got 65,000 miles or so.....temperature sensor never replaced. Never know about electronic stuff.....that stuff usually goes without any warning.
When it comes to the Magnetti-Marrelli.....I would say the Idle speed controller is probably more prone for failure. This item gets worked alot....therefore it will wear out.
Problem is with this system.....not many people are very knowledgeable about it. People often replace wrong parts on this system. They assume or guess it is a certain part. In fact, there is not much information about this system....probably why so many dump this entire system.
I've seen too many people replace the Engine temperature sensor.....often their problem was something else. People start replacing this first everytime something goes wrong....
