First I want to confirm that it is in fact bad. Perhaps it's ok and the wiring is bad and something else is bad. But based on all that I've read it's at the top of the list of likely culprits. I'll test it, and maybe do that silly LED to read the...
Hmm, interesting. Looking at the images of each on RockAuto, the Standard Motors TX32 actually looks somewhat better made. But it's probably six of one...
Heh, all wisdom relates to Star Trek. Anyone under 40 is just a child.Btw just tried to test the temp sensor. Way too much crap in the way to get to it w/o cutting my hands. It's too cold and rainy today to tackle it but tomorrow I'll remove...
A bad temp sensor is usually associated with a no start or hard to start condition, so it is a very important sensor. I haven't used an NTK temp sensors although I think I have 1 or 2 Knock sensors that are that brand (it kinda sounds familiar).
I am 60. It is a GAS PEDAL to me. Not the accelerator, not the foot feet, ROFL I am of the age (a better way of saying I am old) that I remember the starter "button" on the floor.
Hey, as you can guess with me being the original owner of a '92 DSM I'm not that far behind, in fact just a few months from that threshold. Almost makes me wonder what I'm still doing messing with cars let alone a 25 year old's car.But yeah...
Haven't gotten around to messing with the ECU and in any case I replaced my ECU years ago and the new one doesn't have a compatible EPROM.But, I replaced the O2 sensor last fall when I overhauled the entire intake & exhaust, as the old one was...
When cold it always starts, no problem, and idles more or less ok. But after it warms up it idles rough and doesn't always start up well unless I feather the gas pedal. Also poor gas mileage & gas/exhaust smell.Btw why do we still call it the...
Hey all, what kinds of symptoms were you seeing on your DSM before you replaced the bad temp sensor? I've been getting rough idling when the engine warms up, hard starts, a gas/exhaust smell and poor gas mileage.
Thanks. Is NTK ok too? RockAuto has both and several others.And is this a common cause of the symptoms I described? Of course only an actual diagnosis would tell me if this is it, but just wondering.
Thanks, so, likely #5 (from your image, not my list), if it's a bad sensor, right? And, this explains what the various sensors & valves are, so many that it can be confusing.OEM part appears to be out of production, so any aftermarket ones...
Hi all, hope you've had a not too bad winter and are enjoying the early spring weather.It's almost warm enough around here to work on the car w/o freezing and I've continued to have idling, warm engine startup and excessive gas consumption...
