ok i replaced my temp sensor with a new one and it worked great for about 2 months. now ill be driving and the car will sometimes die at idle then it wont start up for a few times. today while i was driving the temp went to 0 as i was pulling onto my street the temp went back to normal and the car acted fine again. idk what to do i replaced the sensor with autozone one idk if that could be why maby i need to dealership one? thx

 

It sounds more like you have a bad connection rather than a bad sensor. Check the sensor connector for bent pins or backed out pins and check the wire for abrasions.

 

the pins look fine the front of the wire does to but i cant see most of it because its all wrapped up

 

good info!!

 

ok i started the car and wiggled the wire that goes into the male connector and when i do this the car shuts off! i did this 3 times and it shut off all three times idk how you would replace this connector?

 

anyone know where to get this connector that goes into the coolent temp sensor

 

Connector Kits

I believe the connector is "pull to seat" get the pins too.

 

ok the old connector had wires showing that kept touching i taped them up and now the temp gauge will not move at all it just stays at 0 i check the codes and it says it has a voltage problem
