Looking for specific temp sensor of which I will attach pics I've found. Its different from the non-ac cars because it is a bimetal sensor so it uses two metals expanding at different rates to send signal to the ac control and to the cooling fans. I assume that is why the end of the sensor has 2 levels to it as opposed to the flat non-ac sensor. Without the correct sensor my fans roar at full speed all the time and my A/C wont work unless I unplug it, then the fans still roar but at least I have A/C. This part number is ts330 but it appears that Standard and all other brands have ceased to make any.
The 93+ part (88625-17011) is still available from Toyota. Not sure if it's compatible with 91-92 cars, though.
[ediit] It looks to be the same sensor, but with a different connector. If desperate enough, you could probably spice a compatible connector onto your harness and use the 93+ part.

Now that you mention it I think I’ll try that. I don’t know why I didn’t check out a newer one, I think I assumed they would be the same. When I look up that number I see an older thread that didn’t get updated with a conclusion that was gonna do the same thing so I’ll just try it and update this after. Thank you

Happen to remember if it was this one?
Looks like it's compatible with Lexus stuff that must have A/C and is the most promising I can find right now. The pictures don't look right, but that doesn't mean much.
