Subject:When in Doubt - Temp 2 - thanks to Digitool
From:Thomas Myers
Date:Tue, 13 Jun 2006 09:12:50 -0400

Spent last weekend trying to fix my grumpy starting/running problem.

The Digitool proved very useful.  I would have never

Suspected my temp 2 sensor

( seeing how it is only 2[!!] years old)

Yet � Digitool reported the sensor was basically dead and that my

Throttle Position sensor [TPS] was only working intermittently.

[ I never heard of the TPS before the Digitool told me it was not working]

So � reading through 20+ TPS adjustment notes on the archives last week

I [ skeptically] spent 2+ hours realigning the TPS and swapped out the Temp
2 sensor.

TA DAH! The van is running very well now and starts and idles perfectly!

No more more hesitations and cold idle stumbling!  Woo! Woo!

Future note: buy extra temp 2 sensors
