I found that I would have trouble starting the truck , rough idle and poor fuel mileage , there is a product on the market that will clean the sensor. CRC makes it and it's called MAF cleaner , about $6.oo , good luck. Terman
yes this does this to stop u from doing damage to the engine
The "Check Engine" light will illuminate when the ECM (engine control module) receives a signal from a sensor that is out of its parameter. It could be a faulty sensor or the sensor may be doing its job reporting a problem to the ECM.
There are a whole lot of problems that can cause an engine to shake. Did you look at the motor mounts? How are the bearings? Why don't you have someone who knows what he is doing look it over?
The throttle position sensor tells the engine control module what you are doing with the throttle as you drive. If you let your foot off of the accelerator pedal the throttle position sensor sends that information to the engine control module and the engine will receive less fuel and it will lose rpm.
To thwart someone's plan is to foil it, to cause it to fail.
The best way is to find someone with a scanner that tells you what every sensor is doing.
If your 3.5 engine is the same as that in a 2001 Olds Aurora, go to www.autorepair.about.com and search on "2001 aurora 3.5 crank sensor". One of the hits will be a diagram of where the crank sensor is located (above the starter motor). Note that for this engine, a "relearn" mjust be done after replacing the sensor. There is a link to the procedure for removing/installing the sensor and for doing the "relearn". Hope this helps

The coolant temperature sensor, which is located behind the engine block near the firewall, senses when the coolant temperature reaches a predetermined temperature so that the transmission can shift into overdrive. This sensor and the hose preceding it can get gunked up with cystallization from the coolant (red Toyota coolant is notorious for doing this) and can prevent proper flow to the sensor i.e. your transmission may take longer to shift into overdrive or may not shift at all depending on how constricted the hose is.

There is NOT a choke on any fuel injected engine. The coolant temperature sensor does the job of what used to be the choke. When the coolant in the engine is cold, the coolant temperature sensor tells the engine control module and it determines how rich or lean to make the engine run. You can use a scanner to see if it and all the other sensors are doing the job they are meant to perform.
