    Oh sorry. Too much brain damage to remember anything. Threads just have their factory coating out of box. I tested pigtail to pcm. Also did the TPS as it was on same circuit just to cover my bases. I can't recall now what the sensor read.

    Welp redid Continuity just to double check. Passed. Pulled pigtail n cleaned terminals. Plug it back in, pulled ground off battery to reset. Fire up n idle, run code reader.... High input coolant temp sensor. -40°. There's a gremlin somewhere and it ain't a cute brown n white furry one.

    Will report tmrw. At 41 I'm still learning electrical diagnosis. Always been my Achilles heel.

    Kinda what i figured. It's a brand new sensor n I've had brand new things fail. I may clean terminals inside the plug first as they are rusty for some reason. But same time it's a Napa sensor n my pro mechanic friend quit buyin from napa as he had nothin but issues with all their electrical pieces.

    I'll have to check this wknd when I'm back home. Think it held around -30 off and runnin

    Worked. I was able to check n got continuity thru tps and temp sensor since they share a ground. Now to think out my next step.... unless of course pcm may be bad. Is almost 30 yrs old.

    Thank you! Was a ***** on Google. That's the 96 set up?

    Helps but I need which plug on pcm. Think if I remember right it's tied in with distributor n is a common issue (moms esky and my friends car). As he said, they didn't give enuff slack in case anything moves n it snaps the solder.

    I'll try again. I did when I first asked for a link with old phone and again with this phone. Neither would give an option to download but I will try again. Thanks.

    Bein a 96 things don't seem the same as the 98. Maybe I'll try the 97? But I did find all yellow wires from pcm plugins and did continuity test. Meter never buzzed. Bout to rain again so I'll try somethin else later. I may not have had the probes in or I may have a bad wire. Not first time I'd...

    Yep. Doesn't wanna start and runs like garbage. Side note, @PlayingWithTBI google wont let me download the files.
