Hey, your mailer is sending MIME emails.  Isn't there a thread 
about not doing this? (there is :-) )

The WOT switch is most likely bad, because they suck.  If you haven't 
replaced yours, then it probably needs replacing.  The o-ring question 
probably applies to all the rubber items on the car as well, hoses, 
seals, and boots, probably all should be inspected or better, 
replaced.

> Can't they just be checked if they are ok?

In theory, yes.  However, the WOT switch is known to test good but 
be bad.

The way I see it, all the rubber items, and a few of the known 
electronic items, should all be replaced.  Somehow, these cars were 
designed that way.  I would like to replace my lower IC hose, but
would like to stumble upon "the source" that is not the dealer.

My advice, replace the WOT switch, MF temp sensor, FP and radiator 
fan relays, all the vacuum hoses and rubber boots.  Basically, trust 
SJM's site for advice, it's BTDT.  It's not like it says to
preventatively 
replace the steering rack or blower motor, those items are service as 
needed.  The WOT switch is replace first, then look elsewhere.
