today i replaced my thermostat, it is a 160* it

wile i was installing it, i spilled some hot radiator fluid on my airintake sensor, (it is seperate from my airintake for now) nothing got in the air cleaner tho, i think the coolant got on some other wires,

the car is back together, except a throttle body gasket. ill get one tomarrow. i fired it up and it just started to light up service engine soon. it kinda runs rough at idle, but drives great. i was wondering if anyone knows what i should check.
ohh and i think my fan is stuck on.

i checked my 2 sensors on the throttle body, i dont know what else to check, i didnt undoo anything... else i dont think.

i have never changed a thermostat before, everything is tight, no coolant leaks

please help me out, any help is apreciated

 

Did the light stay on??
Pull the code and see what the ECM posted. Let us know and we can go from there.

 

yup, shes spittin codes at me....

12- system works
13-oxygensensor circuit
15-coolant temperature semsor circuit
23-mixture control solenoid

she may have had a few codes already b4 the thermo was installed...


i just had a new throttle position sensor installed and an iac valve

 

any ideas?

 

What year 2.8?

I thought i read somewhere that a 160 degree required some reprogramming, as the engine never really warms up enough for the computer to be happy...

 

One other thing - unplug your battery for a couple seconds, then plug it back in - clear all the codes, in case some of those were old. Then see what happens!

 

ok ill unplug it, its a 1992 3.1, the car didnt run like this befor i put the new thermostat in, i hope that it will work from a fresh start...

this mornin i started her, she didnt want to go in gear, i had to slp the clutch to get it to not stall, once it warms up a little its not as bad,

 

also, is the coolant sensor the pipe that goes into the intake hose that atatches to the tb? the other end connects to the passenger valve cover?....
cuz i was lookin in my haynes book, and it had an arrow pointing to something in that area, but i cant find anything that seems like a coolant sensor...

 

now that i reset it, shes still spitting out code 15... the others are gone tho...

 

where is the coolant temperature sensor at anyways, i want details please.... whats it look like please

 

i found it, the temp sensor was snaped off, i know its ghetto but i superglued it back together,

she runs good
