1993 Saturn SL1 Problem When Engine at Temp
#12
Ahhhhh so I did indeed swap out the wrong sensor is what you're saying?

After digging through my garbage for an hour, I finally found the original 1-wire sensor that I replaced and put it back in its original spot. Next I took the new sensor that I just removed, and installed it in THE ACTUAL ects 2-wire port in the manifold. I got very excited when I too out the original because I could see the sensor was cracked right away, swapped the new one and got 'er up to temp. I'm very happy to report the car has never ran better in its life. Thanks for all your help!

@Albanezer and pretty much anyone else reading this thread. There is a moral to this some where that goes something like this.
If you take a part out of your engine or anywhere else on your car and the part you purchased to replace it with looks anything different than the one you took out, especially important differences like the number of wires there is generally one of two problems going on.
And this usually depends on where your car came from and that has an important factor of how many owners the thing has had and if was really cheap because it was having problems.
Either the part you took out was the wrong part and that was the reason the thing was not running right
or '
the part you are putting in is the wrong part and all you are doing is making things worse.
Now I realize recognizing that is easier said than done but that time to figure it out is NOW not later when you have repeated the actions possibly changing more parts with out actually fixing anything.
