Help, electrical issue Hey guys, today I noticed my temp gauge was not working and that lill red light in top left corner of the gauge cluster was lit up. I just replaced the coolant temp sensor sence it was cracked but still have the same problem. Iveresearchand know that the light means low coolant but my coolant Is stopped off.any ideas on what my problem could be?
I do know my car has had a miss for Bout a week now and stutters when I go to step on it but then opens up and gets better when in open loop. I'm pretty sure it's a o2 sensor tht has a problem, just don't know if this would have anything to do with the problem above.

The coolant level sensors do go bad, sometimes you
can clean them and be OK. Give it a try. I doubt the
sputtering has to do with that. But if your problem is
the ECT sensor, that can mess up the fueling and
even keep you out of closed loop. Connector can be
a problem too.
