[s-cars] ECT Sensor - Bosch vs. FAE

[Mark Pollan]

Part Number is 035919369M.  The $6 FAE part was at
http://www.autohausaz.com/.  The $24 Bosch part was at
http://www.sjmauto.com/. Scott Mockry of SJM Auto is a lister and regularly
shares his knowledge.

My symptoms are a faltering idle, sometimes stalling with a cold engine.  I
have new plugs, O2 sensor, plug connectors, filters, and no air/vacuum leaks
that I can determine.  When she warms up, all is well.

I may be dreaming too but reality sometimes sucks.

Mark

What a coincidence!  I want to replace that exact part.  Do you have
the part number and/or place where you found it for $6

What are your symptoms?  Why do you think that a bad ECT is your culprit?

The reason that I am asking is because I think the ECT might be
causing some of my poor fuel mileage lately.  I had a valve colver
gasket leak in the 'half moon' section of the gasket which caused oil
to drain all over the ECT.  I'm guessing that it's not functioning
properly and causing my car to run in 'start up' mode (ie. rich).

Or, I could just be dreaming.

Thanks,
