P0118 two times in one week even after replacing ECT sorry i meant TWO TIMES IN ALMOST TWO WEEKS..
CEL came on.. scanned it, result: p0118 (ect sensor h.i).
Replaced ect sensor which was a B1^7<* (the thread was messed up during the replacement and JB weld had to be used since it was a tiny bit loose), took the car to work everything running good & spr happy because i got my car running. Well i got to work once i was about to park my car turns off.... WTF!. CEL ON again. ran the car for about a week, scanned it & guess what it was.... p0118 AGAIN. I erased the code.. ran it for about 3 days CEL turns on Again but now i had hesitation/stuttering while cruising on the freeway (replaced tps about a month ago.. napa auto part) luckilly this time my friend let me borrow his scanner so i pulled over scanned & it was p0118.. erased it (annoyed already) actually ran good after i erased it, got home still had a lil stuttering but got home.. today i started the car, it starts on the 1st try checked the codes & p0118 is there and NOW p0121.
WTF !!. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've run across crappy ECT sensor connectors that gave
intermittent whacked-ECT readings and all the goodness
that ensues. You might check out the contacts, maybe
see if they can be tightened. Sometimes just a repetitive
reseating can get you "good enough for now".
