Temperature Sensor #2

silver8thcivicr18 · 07-03-2009, 01:28 PM

Well i replace temp sensor #2 the other day and the car still acts up so i goto advance auto to get a reading and its temp sensor #2 that set it off.now im so lost.my dad wont take it to the dealer cuz he thinks theyll deny the claim because of my intake and exhaust.but i dont see how that would ruin a temp sensor.anyways both fans will run with the bottom one unplugged.but when i unplug the top sensor by the thermostat it feels like my car gains like 15hp.doesnt bog when the pedal goes down.car doesnt overheat at all.fuses are good but it sounds liek the sensor isnt running my fuel injection right being that when it idles it idles really rough until i floor it s few times and it runs like a charm.is the wwire harness replacable that goes to sensor #2 or is it some whole big project id rather have a mechanic do lol?
