Author Topic: Just back from my ride - Hawkeye 5th Gear Member # 88 posted                       last night, I unplugged the Coolant Temp. Sensor and plugged it back in. I pulled the main harness near the passenger side header as far away from the header as I could and put some high heat adhesive tape on it. Checked and re checked all the wire. Went for a ride this morning. NO CODES AT ALL! The idle is smooth, lots of power - go figure! I'm scratching my head, but in a good way. The only thing I can figure is that heat from the passenger side header was transferring to the wiring harness that leads to the PCM. Just moving it 1/4" may have helped. Keeping my fingers crossed till I can get it to a pro shop for fine tuning! -------------------- Hawkeye: SSOA F98-C98 1998 SS - Black All Options - Mods Whisper Lid, K & N, Lou's Short Stick, Shift Light, Skip Shift, SLP Y, Borla, 4:10's, BMR STB, SLP SFCs, Granatelli MAF, Hypertech III, 160 Stat, Mallory Billet Pedals, Metco Aluminum LCAs,Fast Toys Ram Air Mod, Spohn Panhard Bar, BMR Torque Arm, free EGR mod,power antenna, BMR LCA brackets, Gentex Temp/Compass Auto Dim Mirror, AllMaxx Strobe and Wig Wag, BAER Eradispeed rotors,PPC Headers with Random Technology Hi Flow Cats, BMR Drive shaft Loop,FAST 78MM Throttle Body, FAST 78MM Composite Intake, Mobil 1 & lots of Zaino.

The heat around the harness would not have caused that.
