Hello, first post here so please let me know if I'm breaking any rules.
I have a 92' Galant with a 6-bolt 4g63 and an automatic transmission. About a year ago I changed the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (shown in the pictures, 2 terminals and is located close to the thermostat housing) because it had trouble starting when cold. That fixed the issue for about a year, but a few weeks ago it started happening again. I bought another sensor but the problem was not solved entirely, I don't have to crank the engine as many times as before, but it still doesn't turn on at the first attempt when the car's been sitting for a few hours. I assume I bought a cheap sensor that doesn't read the right resistance values and it throws the ECU off, even if a bit less than the previous one did.
Having said all that, is there a reliable brand that I can look for to find a sensor that will work properly and for a decent amount of time? Looking around in RockAuto I found these brands: Ultra-Power, GPD, NTK, Four Seasons, Standard Motor Products and Facet.
No idea about any of them to be honest, so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
