claurance2 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Has anyone tried the cts sensors sold at the local part stores. I need a replacement and wanted to know how they compare to the oem one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 You can over tighten sensors and break them, its not the fault of the sensor, its the one that installs them. You need to use some thread sealant, they are pipe threads and then there are many that don't even know what pipe threads are so they tighten more and more and that mashes the brass part and breaks something molded inside or cracks it and then it doesn't work very long so they claim they are junk and not to buy them. I wouldn't argue that they might be made differently but they are just resistors inside the end of a brass pipe plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claurance2 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Mine still has the factory one in it never been touched. But now when i start my car it idles alittle above the 1000 rpm and drops down as it warms up and once it hits the warmup mark it starts to stumble and shuts off. Once i start driving it's ok and idles fine this happens during warmup. So i'm thinking the cts may be bad on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah with the trilogy injectors according to my af gauge it was hitting the first notch on the rich side. Everything else still stock.Also at 21 lbs that seemed to be the sweet spot not too much and not too little you will like it up there it's a different car at 21lbs Edited July 20, 2010 by claurance2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
