ok so today i came to a stop sign and the car died, it did that twice. and also when i slow down to go around a corner then give it gas, it takes like a second then the throttle will respond, its a long gap, and it just started doing this, could it be the fuel pump? i have a new filter and injectors

Get a gauge off of Summit. Dry, not the liquid filled ones. Take the schrader valve off of your rail (relieve the pressure first).

Take both of them down to Wofsco on Puyallup Ave. Tell whoever is working the plumbing desk that you want an L and adapters to make an elbow to fit the gauge on your rail. Fittings will be like three bucks, gauge will be like 25 shipped.

I don't think TBI has a schrader valve, think you have to hook into the line. My guage kit has an adapter to do this.

is there any way to tell without buying a guage? or does anyone have one i can borrow? kinda on a tight budget, also my car gave me codes 32 and 15 today

32-egr failure
15- Coolant Temp Sensor

i just replaced that sensor why would it be throwin a code, or would not mixing the coolant right effect it like having more water than AF making the temp get higher?

I have a gauge you're welcome to use.

How's your connection on the CTS? If you get that fixed, then your EGR code may also go away.

The CTS on a 3.1 will cause it to stall.

I have had the EGR fail and cause stalling too, but its like 200bux to fix the right way.

Start at the 20bux CTS.

I've got a gauge as well. Do you have an obd cable to read what the computer sees for the CTS?

ok i might need to borrow the guage, and no OBD i just used the engine light blinky method and it said code 15 chilton says CTS (temp LO)

i just replaced that sensor too...

I had terminal ends come loose and get damaged on me before. Different sensor, but it cause problems.

How recent was it replaced? The unit might be DOA, the plug might be loose as Jay mentioned, or you might have been sold the wrong part.

Also, a ratio favoring water over antifreeze will cause the engine to run cooler, not hotter. That is until it hits 215* or 32*. Razz

replaced the sensor when my timing chain went out, which was about when i got those manifold bolts from you.

car stalled twice today at a stop when i went to give it gas, and it sounds like the fan is coming on way earlier than it should
