Check Engine Light

  The 100Q wiring on the fuel pump relay suppose to work on the 200T too. But its low bright when off and hight bright when on, on the 200T. On my 100Q its not bright at all when  off and full bright when on !! bizzard on the 200T.
  The relay panel under the hood is durty not clean,, seem water got there....

  The engine see the coolant high then when i start it cold it does not supply more fuel for cold start operation...What i have found with the code its exacty what i expected coolant temp faulty. For now i simulate the sensor with a pot and a resistor. 100 ohm at 100C and 6 000 at -20 C. seems to work good.

  I ll order another coolant temp sensor.

  thanks

    I think I used a 1k ohm resistor when I did it for my 100.  You say the 
    brightness changes when you run the test procedure?  Does it seem like 
    it is blinking codes (4444, if nothing else)?  Try using a bigger 
    resistor, that will dim everything down a bit (brightness of a LED is 
    directly proportional to the current going through it, bigger resistor 
    means less current).
    This *might* indicate that there is a worn/damaged wire elsewhere in the 
    circuit... so the current sees a "path of less resistance" through the 
    LED and more of it goes that way... let me check the wiring diagrams.
