what would cause the motor too idle kinda high???? also when i hit the gas its a slight pause then it kinds sputters/jerks when taking off????

i do smell gas and black smoke comes out the muffler when you rev it???

first my car wouldn't start yesterday and i was told it could be the main relay. i replaced that it starts up but now it has these other problems.

anyone have any ideas on were i should start???

iam doing a tune-up and replacing the fuel filter

iam really confused so any help but be appreciated.........

 

CEL code 6 = coolant temperature sensor

This is the two-wire sensor located immediately below the distributor. The symptoms are consistent with this sensor being bad.

 

so just buy a brand new sensor and that should fix my problem?

 

Run the engine until it is fully warmed up. Turn the engine OFF, disconnect the 2P connector from the sensor, and use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the 2 terminals of the sensor. If the reading is not in the range of 200-400 Ohms, then replace the sensor.

 

ok.....i will try that tomorrow

thanks

 

were exactly is the water temperature sensor located?

iam looking online trying to find some pictures to show me the location of the sensor but i cant find any.

 

pretty sure it's on the thermostat housing

 

i will check in the morning and see if i can find it.

would you happen to know what color wires does the plug that goes into the sensor have?

 

sorry, it's by the distributor, i was mistaken

 

 

thanks man

 

i have another question.

would the change in temperature make the car act up? because today its way colder than the past previous day when my car first started to mess up. i had no problem with the car starting or idling nor a check engine light???

 

It probably just means the problem is intermittent. The issue will likely soon return, so troubleshoot and fix as soon as possible.

 

that's what i figured. i plan on trouble shooting and fixing my problem tomorrow.

since it will be warming up here soon. cant afford to be stuck anywhere

thanks for your help bro.
