RE: Car is dying again! Help.
 

Frick..... I bought another Temp sensor and I put it in and the car is even weirder now: 1.When you start the car from a cold start the fans imedietly turn on. They don't ever stop being on. 2.The car will not go on choke when starting the car. It starts idling at 750 as soon as the car starts and has a hard time starting because of it. And the initial problem still exists :-( I don't get it. I thought that maybe the ECU needed to be reset, is that a possibility? so I disconnected the battery and now I am going to wait until the morning to reconnect it.

You can re connect it after about 20 seconds lol

well I tried that, I even tried turning the lights on and stuff and when i reconnected it the stereo still had the time set and did not require a password.

Trust me dude, the ECU was reset

Do you guys think that there is any chance that it is the alternator?

RE: Car is dying again! Help.
 

No.. your battery would be dead

Ok I found out something interesting. While the Coolant temp sensor was plugged in I grabbed the wires and moved them around (the wires to the sensor) it caused the fans to turn on and off. So it seems like the wire is bad. What do you guys think? What could have possibly happend here is that the wire was bad and it caused the check engine light to come one. (bad coolant temp sensor) and when I replaced the sensor I moved the wires around and that just aggrivated the problem. What do you think?

hmmm. Do you know how I would go about checking that, or would I be best off having someone else doing it?
