cooling system problems (b18b1)
Okay so the other day my check engine light came on, i did the paper clip test and it threw code #6 which is the water temperature sensor. SO i went out and bought a new sensor, put it in and it is still throwing code #6..
There is also no pressure on either radiator hoses, i can squeeze them with no problem.. the temp gauge says it is running the normal temp but just standing infront of the engine bay it feels like it is running hot..
any help is appreciated.. thanks

Any heat from the climate control when you turn it on (Tstat)? Radiator cap? Those are the first two things that popped into my mind.

Next thing I would worry about is the radiator cap since it is a cheaper fix. If not, you would then look at the following:
1. Clogged radiator
2. Clogged coolant passageways
3. Bad water pump
4. Anything else (I can't think of anything right now at least) that has to do with the pressure/flow of the system
Hope that helps!
