check and make sure the water temp sensor is pluged in.

if it is, replace it.

if not, plug it in.

I'm just guessing a defective water temperature sensor would make the ecu throw the water temperature sensor code.


just a guess.

You need a Helms manual for the correct troubleshooting steps and wire color/pin locations and you need a multimeter in order to make use of that troubleshooting info....do you have them?

i got a helms, but i dont have a multimeter. I dont think that its a wiring problem though, cause the harness was fine on my old swap. and it just started doing this **** today.

Well, since you have a Helms, you also have the troubleshooting flowchart - follow it.

Aside from that, as rude as the comments that were made, you really are left to that if you can't follow the troubleshooting flowchart.

Did you reset the ECU? When does the light come on after this reset: immediately...two-trips?
