Subject:      Temp 2 Sensor Questions

Well, back in late April or Early May I replaced the Temp 2 Sensor and it
cured what ailed my 90' with the rough rich running and back firing. It was
great. Well, a couple weeks later it started doing the same thing again.
Common sense says it was the Temp 2 sensor agin - but I have no common sense
and thought it couldn't be because it was just replaced. Well, I just put in
a new sensor and sure enough that seems to have been the problem again.
Someone suggested that sometimes the sensors can be bad off the shelf. That
may be the case - however I was also wondering if there is something else
that could have made the new sensor go bad so quickly?

What does everyoneout there think? Can something make the sensor go bad
within a short period of time or did I just get unlucky and get a poor
sensor to begin with?
