Good possibility. Check the resistance of the temp sensor. It should be a few thousand ohms cold and a few hundred ohms when hot (about 2500 ohms @ room temp). I substituted a fixed resistor to get my engine started when the sensor quit on a very cold morning last winter. ================================ Angus Gordon '89 Carat Delta, Ohio '86 Syncro |
