5KTQ engine fault codes 2141 and 2322

[Bernard Littau]

I would solder them.  You may want to add some additional wire to each side
to provide some strain relief -- the engine moves quite a bit on those
power-shifts.  You can bullet connector crimp on the additional wire, but I
would solder to the sensor.
