so I pulled the plug off of the engine temp sensor. Now the car runs like it should from 4k to 6.9k or so revline. It doesn't have the low end anymore, and it seems more laggy, but runs a ton better. I drove it so much that the CMC gave out. Hopefully it's that.

Oh and a code 12 popped up but didn't affect the high rpm pull.

It wasn't as laggy when I first pulled the plug off. It ran 110% all throughout the rpm band. The next day, the lag showed up.

Any ideas?

Replace the coolant temp sensor?

It's a yellow one. All that I have on me are red ones. Tried that, still the same. Laggy, but with high rpm power.

I think it may be wiring related. However, I'm going to pull part #'s off the yellow one, and replace it.
