Re: Problems running at operating temperature

Any ideas?
Dumb question time. Which Engine Coolant Temperature sensor did you replace?
There are two ECT sensors on these. The ECT sensor in the cylinder head drives the gauge and the other ECT sensor in the intake talks to the ECM.

Assuming it will not start with a sniff of ether.
