Tin Soldier Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 First before anyone smacks me up side the head for posting yet again. I am sorry for so many previous posts on so many issues that could have been summed up in one post. Please disreguard previous posts. Allow me to sum up for those who were helping me and a million thanks on suggetions. First, the tempature problem seems to indeed have been a sticky tstat. I put a 180 from NAPA in it and it seems to be fine now. Second the whole car won't start bit. It turned out to be a danged fuse after all. As for the car idling ruff, the computer says I need a new EGR valve so I ordered one. I did what you guys said and put the oil sender in the hole that was there and it worked great. Thanks. So for anyone who was upset at mutliple posts, forgive me. And for anyone who helped me. Many many thanks. And to Trogdor, don't sweat the small stuff, I like the car. Now then, on to a lift and tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 1 - no one is going to abuse you for posting. Its nice to have you back;) 2 - the EGR code from te computer doesn't tell you whether the EGR itself is bad, it simply refers to the ERG control solenoid. If you ordered the actual valve, you may wanna rethink that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get employee cost on NAPA parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Get one from the JY. New solenoids are ridiculously expensive. Just put 12v to it and see if it clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROGDOR! Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Good to know everything was such a simple fix. I was pretty upset that the car was giving you so much trouble- I really hate it when something I sell doesn't live up to my personal standards.

I found the hex screw and used an allen wrench to remove the plug. I screwed the sender into there and tightened it down. NO problems. I left the idoit light sender there. I could hook it up as well if I wanted to be ghetto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
