Exactly...I just wanted to make sure he wasn't trying to get that one out thinking it was the CTS.

So the first sensor in the pic is the CTS? or is it the one in the background?

Default I just changed mine today:

after I removed the retaining plastic U-clip and the wire harness, the sensor was still stuck fast. I ended up gently (as possible) prising a flathead screwdrive in between the sensor and the lip of its base. Eventually, it started to come free.

By the way, the area around the sensor in my car (tip) didn't look the same as the photo posted by ZephyrS4: mine has additional hoses.

The CTS is the one with the 4 prongs.

So is the actual CTS underneath that 4 prong connector (shown in the pic)?

The 4 prong connector is the CTS, its not underneath it.

Default I'm guessing you started doing this @ 9:00am this morning and you're still trying

to figure out where it is? At this point if all of these posts haven't helped, I would call it quits. You're making this much harder than it is.
