so its fixed? Coolant temp sensor? God my buddy at work suggested that to some guy and I laughed after we sold him the part. I guess a lot of people are careless and break them when doing work on the car?

Alright bitches I got the codes!
P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature [ECT] Sensor Circuit High Voltage
P0131 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0353 Ignition Coil C Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0357 Ignition Coil G Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit Low
P0412 Secondary Air Injection Switching Valve A Circuit
P0418 Secondary Air Injection System Relay A Circuit
P0351 Ignition Coil A Primary/Secondary Circuit
P0355 Ignition Coil E Primary/Secondary Circuit
Alright so we can rule out AIR, EGR, Coil pack codes (I assume it's from unplugging my drivers coil's). So do you guys think a new coolant temp sensor will fix my problem?

mine was a tiny whole in a spark plug wire. there was still spark at the coil and plug. had to hook it up to a tech ii....and then let a drivability tech work on it.

Sorry, I didn't get back here for a few days...
Grounds:
RHS of block near dipstick tube.
LHS of block near alternator.
LHS head rear (also holds bracket for AIR valve)
LHS + RHS fenders
LHS + RHS radiator support
I've experienced brand new parts being faulty.
Did you ohm your plug wires, and do they all look good...?

right now my car is throwing a few codes sorry I can't be specific but they are.
A couple bank 1 O2 codes, All the coil packs on the drivers side are throwing malfunction codes and a coolant temp sensor high circuit...
SO... I exchanged my new O2 sensor for my drivers side(it was covered in carbon and wreaked of fuel so I'm guessing it got fouled out). and I'm getting a new coolant temp sensor AGAIN tomorrow. I checked the grounds and they seem alright.

alright, I'm fed up with my car! I've replaced the coolant temp sensor twice and it's not throwing anymore codes now. I replaced my drivers O2 sensor and delete the code and it's not coming back. BUT! my car is still backfiring like crazy! I checked my drivers side coil with the oldschool method of spark plug + ground point and I have spark on my coils.

I didn't check my CPS where is it exactly? I think I remember it's the drivers side of the motor?
