I have a cel wih code 118 an the temp guage takes a while before it shows an increase in temp. Where should I look??

 

If it takes a while to Read it must be Old... I had the Same Problem tough I didnt have a Code, Replaced the Temp Sensor everythings fine now.

Are you sure is Only Code 118? No Numbers missing? Nothings shows in the Manual.

 

0118 I'm guessing!

 

P0118: Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
Circuit High Voltage

Manual Page 11-103:


Yes basically change the Temp Sensor... I doubt you have a bad PCM.

 

What is the part number for this sensor?

you can go to an autoparts store and get them for around $20USD

 

i got one for 23$

 

I returned the sensor because i unplugged the old one cleaned the contacts and put some dielectric grease. Seem to have worked.

 

Glad it worked!
But hey what kind of wood do you have on your dash?
looks real nice?
