also.,
a good idea is the spare one (the new one) be installed inmediatelly and keep the used one as an spare. So you avoid early failures.

I keep my spare in an un-occupied spot in the fuse/relay box (same hole pattern, but no connectors)... there was even room to label it as such on the sticker under the lid. This saves room in that not-so-spacious glove box, and provides a slight fwd weight bias to help keep the front tires hooked up when exiting corners.

Why not let it fail (if it ever does) THEN replace it? If you replace now then you have a suspect one as a spare, no?

Come on guys & gals (sorry ceboyd), we're talking a $30 part for goodness sake! Buy two, put a new one in and keep the other new one in the glove box or door pocket. THROW THE OLD ONE AWAY!!!!!
I have even read that some lister was going to re-build one...I don't know about him but my time is worth more than the price of the part.

What a timely thread! Drove my 993 today approx. 160 miles. Twice on the freeway at around 80mph the engine died. As I moved to the right lane, after about 15 seconds, it came back to life and was fine for an hour afterward. Sound like the DME?
