My 96 Country has been overheating at idle, after resetting the ECM it was fine for a couple days.
This leads me to think that the temp sending unit might be an issue. Ordering it now, as it doesnt hurt to replace it anyways.
My question though, does this point to an larger issue with possibly the timing advance or AF ratio? I have replaced the downstream O2, will replace the upstream as soon as I can get in there with some heat. I have a crack in the exhaust manifold on the rear pipe (firewall side).
:huh:Not really part of the issue, but better to mention as it steers me towards other electrical issues. The stock radio seek feature also started working properly after the reset, but once I saved a station to memory it no longer registers any stations. Tune works fine just the seek will run until I stop it.
Also ordering a new radiator cap and thermostat, I accidentally ordered a 160 last time. Havent bothered to install it, hoping to get out an flush the system today since it will finally be above freezing for most the day.
