I've been driving around with my coolant temp sensor (TW sensor) disconnected/broken off. Funny thing is the ECU wasn't giving me a code, no engine light ... so I've been ignoring it.
I wonder if that's why I'm only getting 23mpg??? No TW sensor = longer duration on the injectors?? Of course me having a lead foot has nothing to do with it. : )
Can someone w/ an LX-i please tell me (or better yet take some pics and show me) how/where the wiring goes from the TW sensor to the ECU? The sensor is on the thermostat housing. So how is this sucker connected, routed to the ECU? I think there's a connector dangling under the engine but I want to make sure ....
Also, I took the sensor to NAPA and they looked at their part and said the threads on the new part were a lot smaller than my part. I looked up the part on some Internet parts site and it looks like the part I have is for a carbed car. ??? Weird, since I have an LX-i and I believe the thermostat housing and sensor are both original. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.
