Hello everyone, I finally changed my ECT (Engine Coolant Temp.) sensor and my car is running better. A couple of weeks ago I got a code 116 and it was the ECT. It is not bogging or shaking after 40mph as it was and the engine seems to be alot smoother. It was shaking due to a rich mixture. I also changed the spark plug wires and the plug well gaskets and the valve cover gaskets, and also cleaned the intake with throttle cleaner. Unfortunatelly, I did not have a digital camera to take pictures of the engine with the valve covers off. The engine looked very clean and healthy, I guess Mobil 1 is doing its job 
. All the shims were within spec @ 54K miles so I will wait until 110K-120K if not sooner until I recheck them again. The reason why I checked the shims 6K miles before 60K was I am going to be using the vehicle a lot this summer and wanted it to be at tip top shape plus I rather do it now instead of waiting until next year where it would have almost 75K miles.
Oh, by the way, the P/N for the ECT sensor for the '95 SHO ATX is F2AZ-12A648-A. Thanks.
