The temp II sensor is blue, and the temp  I sensor is black, right? II
replaced the Temp II sensor (blue, right?) as the first thhing when the
engine started acting up. As for the O2 sensor, could the coax give
 problem with the O2 sensor disconnected? I suppose it could, as it's
connected to the ECU and could be giving it a bad value.
