ECT Sensor (Engine Coolant Temperature)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor


Is exactly what is means, I would change the sensor or clean it up check connection.

Are you serious? thats what it means? Well thank god you came along and cleared that up smart one.!!! NOT! Any ways the reason I asked was because my book didn't say what else to do to correct the problem. And usually the other guys on here will be a bigger help than you just were. Thanks for trying to make me look like a lame. But sorry about your luck it didn't work. LMFAO

thanks guys

well i bought the sensor and now i have to change it then its off to smogg it again. or at least try. LOL Lets just hope that the end of my drama as far as passing smog......Oh ya....... (LMFAO)....but on another note, seriously though, my power steering is like screwed up and s**t, and the neighbor was saying that I should just take the whole power steering system off the car, cuz it would make it go faster and whatever.? Is that true? and if so does anyone kno how much of a pain in the ass it is to actually do? thanks. I know my problems never cease do they? LOL thanks for sticking w/me LOL

if you take the PS off, you need to get a manual steering rack.

If you want a cure so bad change the sensor?
this too is a lame statement b'cuz if u read what I wrote; it said that my book only told me the coolant temperature. (didnt I say that?) thats why I turned here to find out exactly what was need to correct the problem. anyways :roll:
