broken sensor...
ok there is a 2 wire sensor directly under the black box with a yellow cap saying power steering, the sensor is connected to a rail, one of the wires has come out of the sensor and if i touch the wire to a grounded area such as the intake manifold it raises my rpms and makes a hissing noise from the black box above it, anyone know what this sensor is??
|
i have looked further and it may be a coolant temp sensor, this sensor hasnt sent a CEL, could this sensor also cause some other problems for idling and ect?
|
The coolant temp sensor is at the opposite corner of the engine.
From the vague description it sounds like the sensor for the power steering system. I just took a quick look in my basement, is it a green/white and black/white wire. |
yes, your correct, it does look just like the coolant temp sensor though
|
anyone know if i can remove this sensor?? is it under pressure?
|
If you remove it, some fluid will drain out. Just lay a rag under there to catch it.
If you want to minimize the leakage, use a turkey baster to empty the reservoir first. |
i read that this switch also controls my idle so my car doesnt stall, and there isnt a trouble code for this sensor.... hmmm it has been idling around 120 rpm.....
|
fixed the sensor and saw no change, if anything it seemed a little easier to turn......

i cleaned that with throttle cleaner, when the engine is hot the tub that goes into the middle right hand side of the black airbox connected to the TB's has a vacum to it, i can barly blow any air into it, and i pulled the tube connected to my tb's it killed the engine cuzz it sounds like it has extreme vacum...
