Means you have a bad EGT sensor.

Default Check data block 112.

should read 1035 with engine off, and 945 with engine running. Anything else, and that one's bad.

Send me your bad EGT sensor? The sensor itself is most likely fine, it's the black box with the circuitry that goes bad. So if you know of someone doing an EGT gauge setup, they can use that sensor. I'm putting one in each downpipe, and running a switch at my gauge so I can see each side......someday.

Default by any chance do you know which is sensor one, red box(pass) or black(driver)

i believe is the pass but im not sure, the code is sensor 1 (g2s2) it think.

btw i also replace the CTS for the green one, missfires less but still does.

now this is a question to see if i can avoid buying a sensor. can i over pass the sensor with a resistor or not?

TIA

Default 1 is bank 1 is passenger side. Red sensors AFAIK aren't available anymore......

you'll get a black one when you buy it, and you may need to modify it to plug into the connector.

Default I got a coed once that said something about me being too short down there or something:-(

Might have been a different coed than yours, though. At least, i sure hope it was a different coed.
