Go ahead and reset your computer also.It's a good idea to do that everytime you replace a part or sensor especially if it's bad (such as your ACT) so your ECU can re-learn the parameters of it.

Oh man - I wish I could find my bad sensor!!! [:@]It must have felt great when you pulled thatleach out...

What's ACT anyways? Do you mean the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature sensor) which plugs into the top front of the engine just by the front of the fuel rail but actually goes into a coolant hose coming from the engine?

Mine runs so rich that even if you don't get on it, your eyes will burn, when I get on it, my eyes burn like someone has rubbed an onion in my eyes. Maybe it just the dumps on the car, but I doubt it.

Is there anyway to test the act, and is the act a reasonable priced sensor?
