Default code P0118

i did a search already, but i just want more info. the ses light isnt on any more. im replacing the temp sensor tomorrow hopefully that will help.

i Juts got my LT's on dont know if that matters. but since the code has to do with the car running hotter than normal..i figured the LT's are making the car hotter. am i right or wrong?

the tamp gage is normal just like it was before the install..but will this make my car over heat??

i notice parts of the engine being hot after the car was off for an hr....including the oil pan ..maybe i just never really noticed this before...butim jujst curious

Since the light isn't on I'd just double check the ECT plug/contacts/wiring and drive it. How long since the LT install? Maybe the car was started with it unplugged or loose.

Yeah, ECT is the brass sensor w/2 wire connector right by #1. Don't think LTs are going to raise your coolant temps.
