Check Engine Light
I have a check engine light I pulled the code 23: poor electricalconnection, open or short in circuit; defective MAT sensor, defective ECM, I recently changed the MAT sensor and to note the car was worked on by dyno don he didn't do anything wrong just looking for a quick response

Re: Check Engine Light

Re: Check Engine Light
I drove the car and noticed that the check engine light comes on after the car reaches or passes normal operating coolant temp

I noticed that the wire that goes to the egr is broken at the porcelain material would that affect the mat sensor ...the sensor is good only thing I can think of is faulty ecm ground

Re: Check Engine Light
Did you get this get this figured out. I have had same problem since owned mine? Very curious how u solved this? I know mine is warmed up when ch engine comes on? Quickly goes off when driving? Seems like as soon as it is not under load comes back on. Runs drives decent. Can tell by exhaust note it loads up, rich condition when ch engine comes one

Re: Check Engine Light
have you looked into the ground side. If I remember correctly the tps and mat splice for a common ground.
