On older cars it can cause a no start too. My 94 bronco with minimal tech relies on the signal to calculate fuel ratio for operation. If it’s bad and reading too cold, it’ll flood the engine with fuel and if it’s the opposite, it’ll starve the engine of fuel which pretty much cuts the pulse to nothing and there’s nothing to ignite and make it run. Keep that in mind 👌🏽

@jbobdavis19842 ай бұрын
So what is the issue if my engine runs cool unless I hit 45 to 75 mph with the AC turned off. which at that point the temp gauge runs slightly above the middle of the gauge. If I'm driving around town, I can run ac for about 30 mins, then I Have to switch to vent to keep the temperature gauge below half way. During winter, My temp gauge shows I'm running way too cold. I can't even get up to operating temp in the winter months. During summer if I'm driving without the AC on and not driving on the highway with vent and heat on my engine runs very cool. 😅. Is it my temp sensor ,or do I need to replace radiator, condenser? My coolant fan is mechanical. I have a heater core leak. Because of the heater core leak, I bypassed heater core for summer months. No check engine light. ???

You forgot to include (as for me is a major sign of issues with said sensor as it has happened twice on different vehicles from different brands) that another and very noticeable symptom is that the vehicle's engine stalls (lightly but noticeably) during acceleration at certain RPM levels when the engine is still cold (like in the mornings), as if the engine being almost out of fuel or having an electrical issue, this disappears once the engine has reached its normal operating temperature but is constant and does not go away (despite no ck might be seen dash-wise or through a scan) until the unit has been replaced...

My vehicle starts fine, like literally starts right up cold, but after I run it for say 30 mins and shut the vehicle off, then let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then jump back in it to start, it’s like it starts hard or delay starts when it’s hott. That leads me to not believe it’s the Cam Sensor or Crank Sensor. It’s leading me to believe it’s a Temp Sensor, especially based on research and evidence I’ve seen. Could this be the case or could it be something more severe?? Thanks.

Hello, my car is a fiat bravo 2 2008 1.6 multijet diesel. Since I have it from the last summer the car does not have a stable idle. In the winter that problem was gone. This summer it is here again. I tried a lot of things but nothing is helping. Now I have error codes P01EA and P0487(for EGR). P01EA looks like very generic code but it looks like the ones for engine coolant problems. So I am thinking is it possible for a faulty coolant temperature sensor to cause an unstable idle when the car is warming and hot? For example, maybe the coolant temperature sensor is sending wrong information to the ECU that the car is still cold and the ECU is pushing the wrong air-fuel mixture as if the car is cold? Thanks in advance!

However as soon as I turn on my car or when the car is idling once i park it, that's when the AC is not cold the fans aren't spinning. And I just replaced the fan the fuse and the relays. Also replaced the thermostat too. And the only thing I have not changed was the engine coolant temperature sensor. Ben still the fans still spin and the AC still gets cold but once I hit the throttle or gas pedal. I noticed every time the engine misfires while idling, that's when the fans don't spin and the AC is not cold. What the hell is wrong with my car?

Would this cause the Catalytic code keep coming up. Runs very good at different speeds, did run a total of 3 bottles of Catoclean. 2 back to back and 3rd one few tanks later, replaced both 02 Sensors and light did go off but came back on about a month later and 3rd ran, and kept doing that every few tanks, put new gas cap on also. Did replace heater hose that was back ordered last winter. Light started to blink on and off in one ride and stayed off so couldn't find out why, replaced heater hose and grommet that antifreeze got on, I figured with reading up. It was that. Went off and stayed off. Then came back on 4 or 5 months later with light coming on full time fora week and off. Bought a cheap scanner to check, got tired of going to parts store for it. Did clear code about 10 times after it came on right away since, it's cleared itself haven't checked the fuel injectors yet, has a brand new tune up from summer before with just 15,000 miles on it max with new coil packs and all parts. a tune-up should be done right and replace old coil.packs too, kept them incase, I'm ready to check all plugs again to see how there burning but 1st check each injector. Then pull spark plugs out. It's due for inspection in March 2023. Want it fixed. I wondering if the ECU can cause this issue? I only spelled somewhat to say rotten egg smell once and wasn't sure if us or car in front. Its 4WD and if punch the gas peddle taking a left onto another street. It will spin the tires and I get off of it soon being 4WD and don't want to break anything in drivetrain. Anyone have any ideas besides changing the Catolectic converter which I plan on replacing both, any preferred brands other than factory parts at those crazy prices. I could shut it off and it may stay off for a month but I won't just because either way, it needs fixing and I just did brakes, tires 2 years ago 80 000 mile Michelin tires and gave it a nice buff job when light stayed off. Anyone with ideas please send them open to listening to other's, its why I replaced stuff for, should of let them fix it. Just not that 1 garage since no place to work on in December and that was my Christmas present $818 charge and said Radiator was shot, not when I checked it out and was taking back but they had ripped apart putting Radiator in because I found it on ebay motors for $73 with shipping. Quoted me $778 for all plus tax and 15% off labor which only charged 3 hours but said Radiator cost $378 bucks, new from Honda wholesale warehouse shipped to me was $260 factory and this one loose. Cut trans lines to fit it. Not factory that's for certain.

Do you think a faulty temp sensor could lead to a no start problem?
