im throwing code 14. Says its a coolant temp sensor circuit. Its not over heating, only runnin 180 today. So thats not the problem. BUT i did massacre that sensor, but i was on a tight budget so i glued it together and called it good, no problems till now. strange thing is. its not always there. When i was driving today ( it started on my way home from work today) it would come on ONLY when i was under 2000 rpm. Didnt matter what speed i was going, just the RPM. Which is whats throwing me off. Maybe cause the water pump is moving quicker, causeing the coolant go move faster past the sensor? Its probably going bad. My lil rig job probably failed me now. But let me know what your thoughts here are.

Another thought... This book is telling me the switch is in the front of the left head... but the switch i broke is below the head all together and near the 6 and 8 cylinder... I guess thats it? i hope thats it?

 

yet ANOTHER question to add onto these... There are two sensors, one by the thermostat but actually in the manifold, and one in the thermostat houseing... what are those? Since the regular sensor isnt where it usually is, would one of those be it?

 

The sensor in the intake is the one that is throwing the code. The temp sender for the gauge will not do that. The sensor should have a black and a yellow wire. It goes bad. The computer makes note that the temp has not changed for a certain time while running and will tell you that giving you the idea that the sensor is bad. Pretty much. The light also does not stay on. It will go out and come back on at certain times and speed

 

just as i was putting it away a few min ago, it started running really crappy and a light came on, i didnt check it yet cause im tired.

 

There may be something else now.

 

wouldnt suprise me...

 

a glimpse of what is soon to be seen on this forum if this keeps up...

FOR SALE! 1989 camaro RS. 350 cuin motor, 15000 miles on it. 360 horse, give or take. Runs like a scaulded dog... just dont try and take it throught emissions!!!!

ive had enough of this emissions BS, it needs to go...

 

Don't be a weenie!
I live in California and I have been putting up with emissions on my rides for a long time.

 

they agrivate me... and its starting to run worse and worse. time to buy a new car and either sell this one, or make it my project car for the next 10 years.
