OK I finally got around to changing this coolant temp sensor but the CEL is still on. Does it go out on its own after a while or do I need to clear it out?

Still looking for your answer? I sure haven't got it...
I've been having a vicious hard start in the cold, and a solid CEL. Ripped the code and got a 21. Some time ago, I had a 21 show up very briefly, so I grabbed the sensor from my dealer for the ~$25 price that everyone here has paid. It's been hanging out in my basement with my other assorted SVX parts since then. The past two days, the car has been giving me holy hell when trying to get it running from setting cold. I replaced the sensor tonight, and it still had the same reluctance to get running. I suppose the next check is the wiring? Can anyone tell me if there's a voltage to measure on the connector for the sensor? I'm betting it's 5V or so...

Here is what happened with me. When I first started getting the CEl, it would come on for a few seconds then go off. Well it progreesivly got worse by staying on longer each time until it finnaly stayed on all the time. The code was 21 and it was for the Coolant Temperature Sensor. When I changed it, the car started but the car was warm at the time and the CEL was still on. When the car sat overnight and got cold it would not start and the fans were constantly running even though the car sat overnight and was cold. All I had to do was "Disconnect the Battery for 1/2 hour to clear the code" and the car started right up. I have had no problems since. I guess the car was till reading that the "sensor" was bad so I had to clear the code. If you haven't already done so, try clearing the code. I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful, but I am just learning about this car myself. Good luck.

Yeh, I found Hocrest in IRC last night, and he told me to try clearing the code as well. We both agreed that it seemed odd that it would make the difference (as the mechanicals were properly repaired), but sure enough, it did! Maybe the ECU ignores the sensor if it gets too far out of whack?
So, agreed - clear codes, EOF.
