Hmm once again Art you give me a great deal of info. Well first before I continue since I am driving it I plan to get the replacement first.

Basically my cable looks like yours all baked and the foil pulled away. For now I untwisted and shortend it spliced and retwisted and wrapped it in foil as much as I could to help shield it. I also rerouted some towards the passenger side, and moved the connector of the ECM side and also shortend it up too which was also slightly baked.

After doing this much it is actually running better especially on rainy days.
It's never fully quit yet but I think it is the source of erratic rough idle and skipping etc most notable when climbing a hill. Having these great pictures really helps. Fortunately I have without A/C components up at the firewall. Now just need to purchase new one before attempting replacing it. I also need to find some new hood hinges but that is another story.

I am thinking that when I put the new one in I have a can of "liquid electrical tape" that I will treat the wire end of the sensor before installing it. Also I am keeping the wires routed away from the back of the motor.
