Coolant sensors can cause a lot of various problems. The ECM relies on the coolant sensor for temperature readings. This is so that it can adjust the timing, fuel, and other related systems. But without knowing more I couldn't say that it is your problem.
Yes, a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor can cause a car to misfire. If the sensor provides incorrect temperature readings, it can lead to improper fuel-air mixture adjustments, resulting in poor combustion. This can cause the engine to run too rich or too lean, leading to misfires and rough running. Addressing a malfunctioning coolant sensor can help restore proper engine performance.
a coolant temperature sensor:can cause hard starting,stalling,blacksmoke from tailpipe,hesatation,rough idle,surging,cold engine warm up problems,poor fuel economy, the sensor sends a signal to computer!! fuel mixture and ignition timing are also affected by coolant sensor.
TPS or idle air. ------------ ECT is a far more likely cause of cold running problems which stands for the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. Also check the IAT or Idle Air Temerature sensor. A scan would be the best course of action at this point if you suspect a sensor problem.
Yes, coolant temperature sensors can affect idle speed and cause the engine to run rough in a 1992 Cabriolet. If the sensor is faulty, it may send incorrect temperature readings to the engine control unit, leading to improper air-fuel mixtures. This can result in an unstable idle and rough engine performance, as the engine may not be receiving the correct adjustments for temperature changes. Therefore, ensuring the coolant temperature sensor is functioning correctly is important for optimal engine performance.
Not likely but possible. I would suspect a leaking vacuum hose.
one of ur sensers are bad. i would look at the idle air sensor or coolant tempuratur sensor
Try changing the coolant temp sensor, the one next to the thermostat housing.
Temperature gauge reads signals off the coolant temperature sensor. It can also point to a faulty thermostat. If your car runs rough in cold, idles rough and uses up more fuel then coolant temperature sensor is your problem. They are normaly a cheap and easy diy to do.
Your temperature gauge does not work, and the engine might run rough.
YES it does. It should be close to intake.
What might cause your 2002 Silverado 4.8 to run rough under a load could be clogged fuel injectors or a clogged fuel filter. It might also run rough under a load because of a transmission sensor issue.
Try cleaning the EGR valve.
