Coolant Temp Sensor Problem
97 z28, iat sensor and coolant temp sensor were both reading -40 but no codes. Replaced both and no change. Tested voltage and cts is reading 5+, iat read zero. Replaced the iat pigtail and now it's reading right. Cts still reading -40 but showing 5+ volts. Tried to check resistance (ohm) in a cup of water and it read 3.xxk which is between 58-69F which was about right according to the thermometer I had in the water. Am I missing something on testing resistance in the cts?? No problems that are typically related to a bad cts besides plugs are fouling quickly. Car starts up whether I have the cts plugged it or not, and no change when plugging or unplugging while running. Also replaced cts pigtail even though it was reading right and still reads 5+ volts. Anyone have any ideas?
