I will point this out, though. My truck had the check engine light on ever since I bought it. I knew what was wrong though. I had almost no exhaust, so my o2 sensor wasn't reading properly. Well one day just for the heck of it, I went and had it scanned. To my very surprise, I was throwing out 5 codes instead of the one. I did a little research and figured out that since I replace my thermostat housing and never replaced the sensor in it (your #2. My new housing came with a plug in its place) I threw out 4 more codes, all of which were fixed once I put that sensor back in.
Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the #2 is the ECT sensor but I have no plus or wires anywhere near that.. I don't know how it's connected to the PCM.. I do not have any code other than a 335, which is related to DPFE sensor I believe... I am very confused... My temp gauge does not work, but I think that's related to the sender unit instead of the ECT sensor. Will I be able to read the engine temperature off of a scanner? Thanks!
