Subject:Re-time after replacing temp2 Sensor and coolant???
From:Ed Shultz

Hi folks,
First, I have an '87 2.1L van.
My temp gage has been acting flakey for a while now. I replaced the coolant,
thermostat, and while I was at it, replaced the tempII sensor. Now van won't
idle, it's very rough. Stalls like its not getting any gas, any RPM below 2000
is very rough, I almost got stranded.

The engine stalled while I was reving it up approx. 2,000RPM to replace the
coolant. From then on, it keeps stalling.

Do I need to re-time the motor due to the new temp II sensor?
Maybe a bed temp II sensor?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Ed
