Wednesday night I got this code way home from work while sitting at a stop sign. only about 2 miles to home, parked read the code again and did a reset. Got on the internet read that it could be the temp sensor. Picked up new on on Thursday morning on the way to work. So far I haven't had the time to do or a cool engine when I do have time. I have a scan gauge in the car so I started watching some of the readings today. The temp is all over the place. Water temp is 40 one minute and 189 the next them down to 140 and back to 190. Also I've noticed that the Air intake temp is higher than normal. Normally it's between 90 and 110, I saw it as high at 125-130 tonight. The car is running fine and after the resetting the code it has not come back, but if it wasn't for the scan gauge I wouldn't have noticed anything out of place.
I'm planning on installing the new green sensor (mine is black) in the morning when it's cold. Does it sound like there is something else wrong?
