Update - I ordered the part from Amazon and the total cost was $37. A friend helped me to install it in about 5 minutes. We disconnected the negative battery terminal, drank a beer, and then reconnected the battery. The check engine light went out and all is good. I would usually just allow a mechanic to repair the car, but 3 shops wanted about $300 for a non-OEM part alone that was readily available from Amazon for $37. To me that seems like an unreasonable markup on the part. I had no issue with the labor portion of their quotes.
