Thanks Jerm.
I checked the sensor plug as soon as I saw it was fluctuating, and it was really clean and tight. It actually took a bit of grip to pull it off, and put it back in.
As I said before, I do have a CTS and sender sitting in another manifold. Just don't recall if the 95~97 CTS is that different from the 98 that's installed. Guess it shouldn't hurt considering I'm using the 95~97 ECU. I'll swap them both out just for the sake of swapping them out.
