replacing temp sensor
#4
i finally got it out...it seems like the old sensor had thread lock...do i need to put some on the new one?? the damn instructions say not to use any grease but nothing about thread lock??
and would i need to reset my car after replacing the sensor? or will a code just go away on tis own...it was throwing a P0118 code

I know when I replaced mine (broke it during the header install) I just unplugged the battery and it was fine.
But, I tried 2 off brands (from napa & autozone) and they did not work for some reason. So, I went to GM (I think it was a AC delco brand) and put it in and it worked fine.

a few times..dont really know for sure. but i will be reseting the pcm again and hopefully that will do it.

see thats the thing, the SES light only came on the frist couple of times i started the car after header install. but i had forgotten to plug back in the wiring to the sensor. this was last thursday, ofcourse i plugged it back, but since friday i have not had the SES light on. But i still went in that same day to get it scanned to see why it came on to begin with.
