KlausC,

I'm able to recreate the problem when ever I want to now.

Before the last go round, I checked the resistance, and it was about 1.2K Ohms after say about 1.5 hours of just sitting outside. Outside air temperature about 45 degrees or there abouts.

I was able to jumper across the two wires and get it to kick off and run.

I then hooked up the ECT and took it for a drive, brought it home, and shut it off. I checked the resistance again and it is about 350 Ohms, and now I have a new condition where the cooling fans wants to run when I shut it off, the car that is.

I also no longer have any readout on my dash telling me what my engine temperature is, so that is some what disturbing, hopefully dead shoring the two connectors did not fry that gauge.

So, I'm not convinced that the ECT is bad, but then again it might be. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
