I have an engine coolant sensor trouble code and need to replace it

I got the sensor this am from Advance.I checked it and found it is identical.I put teflon tape on the threads and you were right the old one came out with no problem. The old on was corroded some with green around it also the plastic guard that is supposed to be attached to it actually fell of the unit I screwed the new one in it took a 3/4 regular socket. Plugged in the cap and started it up. When I took it out had some antifreeze come out but it stopped quick and was able to screw the new one in with no problem.I still got a check engine light on the engine seems to idle fine should I disconnect battery wait a few and reconnect it to see if light stays out?If so what terminal to disconnect? Or does it matter at all. First going to take it for a ride to see if speedometer working and cruise control. Also should I do another trouble check to see if I still get a 14 trouble.I will be waiting for your opinion thanks.

Ok saturntech9 that sensor is replaced but still get the light on I talked with another tech and now we are thinking I need to do the sensor for the cooling temp sending unit where should I look for that one. When I ran the diagnostics with the jumper the 2nd time after installing sensor I ran it all the way back to 12 results are 12, 14, 15, 27, 28, 31, 42, 46 then back to 12

Yes for the gage hmm but the gage one could that have anything to do with speedometer and transmission and cruise control?Because that is 15 and had that one come up on the codes which says 15 is coolant sensor circuit low or open. Im thinking 14 is one sensor and 15 being the other. Also I have been told they are both close together on the intake manifold

I don't have a multimeter Yes have issues with speedometer, cruisecontrol, and security alarm. Sometimes the tranny kicks down a speed after engine gets warmed up when it does that the speedometer will work. When the speedometer works the cruse control works and sometimes if I am lucky the engine trouble light will go out. One day I had everything going ok even went 6 miles to home with no problems. Parked it went back out to go to work 7 hrs later started it and there right away engine lite back on and speedometer not working. Security alarm is need to turn left signal on to start car if signal is not on then when you turn key on you get the horn blasting. If the speedometer, and cruse control arent working the car will start without the signal light the horn works with any instance no prob there.

I was looking for the egr. It is different than what shows in haynes book I found a canister on front side of engine near the speed control also followed line from canister to back of engine and found a 7/32 vacuum hose connected to a metal piece and hose was cracked. The hose continued on to a junction with 2 other hoses on the back firewall.I took a piece of electrical tape and wrapped it around the cracked rubber hose started car then my engine stopped running fast and was running normal.I shut the engine off and restarted it running normal and engine light was out. Shut engine off then restarted and light stayed off. But the next time it came back on.I am going to replace the hose by the end of the week should I disconnect battery to try to reset computer after installing hose

Found a vac hose leak near a canister on front of eng. Taped it and engine started ideling right and engine light went off twice after starting and restarting car Thinking that canister would be EGR

Not fixed yet getting vac hose thursday right now it is idling too low need to keep foot on gas when I stop or it will stall on me.

I replaced vacuum line past canister and it goes to a 3 way plastic port on top of firewall. It is about a 2'piece of straight hose 7/32 dia. After I replaced it I started the car and the engine light came on the engine was idiling a little high I left it alone and let the car warm up ( been sitting all nite)a few min. Later the ideling went down to normal engine light stayed on.I took it for a ride and the speedometer worked great.I went 6 miles to town and stopped at store and shut it off. When I restarted it the engine light didn't come on at all, the car idled nicely and speedometer also worked. No problem at all all the way home (6 miles)then let it set until 9pm and went to work when I started it the light came on and the speedometer didn't work again. On the way to work the speedometer worked a little then quit again but engine light stayed on. Then the speedometer worked again all the rest of way to work.I parked the car at work shut engine off and restarted it this time light stayed off.I went to work then coming home the light was back on and speedometer didn't work again. Someone told me that I was supposed to drive it 50 miles when all was working to see if it had any problem light coming back on, that the computer has to readjust itself is this so?

There was a ferril cat roaming around here for a while I noticed it couldn't walk normal all it could do to get around is crawl on its side.I am wondering if it is responsible for chewing on my under the hood wires and got juiced. Is there enough voltage to do this when the car is not running?I found one wire going to the back center fuel injector that the plastic was missing from probrably an inch long area since then I coated the rest of wire with liquid electrical tape.

Christmas was fine I am going to have a repairman check on his computer to narrow down what is cause of light staying on. He has all the equipment to check ODB1.I suspect it has to do with tranny due to sometimes when driving I feel the tranny changing into a different gear then speedometer will work for a while then it will shift gear again and speedometer stops again. Also found out when the speedometer works and if I shut off the car when I restart the car the engine light doesn't come on until of course the tranny decides to change gear again. How I can tell the tranny changed gear is I get a little drag or jolt for a cpl of seconds.
