.. wanna come by and help me put in a coolant sensor? i was able to take the old one out (took awhile) but its a pain putting the new one in with the o-ring.

i have the o-ring in the tube and due to clearance im not able to push the sensor into it.

or if anyone has suggestions, that'll work too. thanks

If you can wait, there will be a tech day soon, maybe even next weekend.

would it be safe to put a lil bit of oil on the o-ring or something so that the sensor can go through it easier?

so i tried taking the o-ring back out and ended up dropping it, no longer to be found. gotta go back to the dealer and pick up a couple just in case.

so right now i got the old one back in there, CEL still on. went to get gas and CEL went out. and coolant temp is normal.

guess ill just wait till tech day and have it replaced lol
