stapi Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 no luck today, in the shop they gave me engine coolant temperature gauge sending unit rather then the sensor which I just checked now and the shop is already closed so will have to replace it tomorrow. Unless you think there might be a point in replacing that as well? From the manual I can see that sensor itself is slightly bigger and sits right next to that sending unit thingy... http://www.autodynamics-honda.com/hoph2encoteg.htmlThe clip was 40mm diameter.

vti_786 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 the sender unit thing only does just that, sends a reading to the gauge on the dash, well thats what i have always thought, i'm pretty sure you won't need to change the sender sensor.the coolant temp sensor is the one that interacts with the ECU, thats the one i think is faulty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapi Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks for info. In such case will need to go back to the store tomorrow and replace it for the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stapi Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 I do agree that its better to use genuine sensors, the only problem is that I have no idea what is causing the problem and replacing them one by one with genuine ones can be quite costly… anyway, I have replaced the temperature sensor on Saturday, didn’t really do much driving yet but up until now everything seems to be ok. I will test it for a while though, before start believing that the problem is gone. Except of replacing the ECT sensor I have also cleaned the MAP and the IAT sensors, especially the intake one was quite dirty which I suspect can be the cause of the problem as well, so you can try that, before replacing the sensor, if you haven’t done that already.

vti_786 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 thanks for the reply bud, where are the MAP and the IAT sensors situated, a pic will be perfect thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stapi Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 The Intake Air Temperature sensor is the one on top of the intake manifold, and the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor is the one on top of the throttle body. Both are easy to locate, attached with 2 philips screws on the sides of each sensor. On my car it was quite difficult to unscrew them both so you may try to put some WD40 on them before you start messing around with them Good luck and let us know how did it go.By the way, journey home from work without problems again (fingers crossed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stapi Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have changed the coolant temp sensor and only cleaned the other 2, but for now car seems to be running ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
