coolant temp sensor

[navysnail]

hey im gona order a new coolant temp sensor from nissan in the morning, just thought if anyone else has any oppinions they may be helpfull

my car is smoking when warming up and a little under accel when warm

the idle kinda moves up and down from like 500 to 1000 when its cold

maf is fine, checked it, checked all the other sensors, so i figure at 130k it cant be a bad thng to replace anyway

make sure the connector is free of corrosion as well. You could always ohm out the temp sensor to be sure it falls with in specs from the FSM to be sure its your problem.

Sorry to resurrect, but wasnt sure if you fixed it. Did you check your O2 sensor. Mine did that when the sensor went out. Cheap part, easy install.

did changing your coolant temp sensor fix the cold idle problem?

Check the TPS, idle speed, and for vacuum leaks.

for the record, i never replaced the CTS. I traced the problem to a bad MAF connection which i tightened up, problem has never returned.
