Subject:Re: No start after Temp II replacement

Hi, he  tried that first thing, logically, and it didn't help.
Fwiw, I have never heard of or experienced a bad new temp sensor for the
ECU, but it's a simple matter to check it with an ohm meter.
Possible, not likely, easy to check.
What I want to know is what do the spark plugs, or even one,  look like ?
wet, and flooded  ? or dry. Huge plug gaps, what , LOTS to glean from
looking at even one plug, which takes but a few seconds 
How is the spark ? , as the other guy said,
And ..........if I have spark, and think it should run, and it won't , and
it's not flooded, I just put some fuel down the throat, and if it goes VROOM
........then you know it's a fuel problem, and where to focus your energy
and great cleverness.
Scott

James,

I cannot attest to the accuracy of this information but I have been told
that occasionally those Temp II sensors are "bad" off the shelf. It might be
worth trying a new one (or putting the old one back in if you still have it)
and see what happens.
