I went to Auto Zone and they gave me the code PO118 that indicates to replace the sensor which I did and it still doesn't work.
codes never identify bad parts, just failed systems.
SYMPTOM
P0118 - ECT SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO HIGH
WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition ON and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts .
SET CONDITION
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor circuit voltage at the PCM goes above 4.98 volts for more than 3 seconds .
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Sensor ground circuit open
ECT sensor signal circuit open
ECT sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage
ECT wiring harness intermittent problem
ECT sensor
Powertrain Control Module
There is no voltage to wire (tan w/black stripe wire) from temp sensor.
ok, thats a start. look at harness for being trapped somewhere.
