CTS/97 Eclipse
I've got a 97 Eclipse Non Turbo with the 420a engine; I know what the problem is with my vehicle I've got a faulty CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor.) What i'm looking for is possibly somewhere online where I could get one cheap or any recommendations of places to check out and things of that nature. Thanks in advance!

So I replaced my CTS but my check engine light didn't go off and that was the only thing that was coming up when the guys at Autozone ran the check engine light tester. Hopefully we'll see if the cold start is fixed. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Update:
I went out last night and the check engine light was off; sweet! So I wake up this morning and the big test, the cold start. Starts up perfect like a champ but right when I’m about to get to work the check engine light pops up again…I’m going to go back to AutoZone tonight if the light is still on and see if it’s anything different, any other ideas? |
RE: CTS/97 Eclipse
reset the computer, disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes, hook it back up and run the car for about 20 min, the computer has to "learn" the new component is there, or it wont recognize it..........

Ok; I know how to disconnect the battery but resetting the computer I’m not so sure about. If I could get some simple instructions, that would be excellent. I just got this car recently and I’m not familiar at all with. Thanks in advance.

unhook the battery for about an hour, that will automatically reset the ecu when you hook it back up..........

RE: CTS/97 Eclipse
Did that last night when I got home from work. Light never came back on and this morning the start was beautiful and the light still hadn't came on. Thanks for all the help guys, I plan on being around for awhile and learning everything I can in the process.
