[QUOTE=sundew]Could it also be a temperature sensor?[/QUOTE]
it could be but i doubt it. IMO, if it was a sensor ther are a number of things that might show. it may throw a code, it could effect other settings by sending the wrong info to the ecm. he said that the car ran fine except for the temp.
when i bought the 90, it did the same as he described. changed the stat and everything was fine. my 90 was the first car that i really worked on with a computer and it was driving me crazy. a guy told me something a teacher told him when he was in school for auto and it saved my sanity and a lot of time and money. what the teacher told them was to troubleshoot the engine first as that's where most of the problems are. do the computer last.
i was doing it backwards and things were getting worse instead of better until i went back to the basics as suggested.
