You sure about that? That's a very unusual failure mode. They seldom fail at 
all, but if one failed, I'd expect it to fail shorted or open. Have you tried 
measuring the resistance in the freezer and in boiling water?

What resistance are you getting?

$26 by PayPal, shipped, if you really need it.

Oh, and regarding your extreme high idle: Any chance you have the wrong 
(metal!) intake manifold gaskets? FI Type 3s NEED the special bakelite 
spacer gaskets. If you use the metal Beetle gaskets, those will leak at the 
heads.
