Default Re: IC Pump Failure

So I was saying how I thought my IC was bad... and I had no problem replacing it because I was going to at some time anyways...

It didn't work, so we replaced the IAT Sensor, didn't work...blah blah blah... its all written in this thread above...

None of it worked...

Today, I went to Eurocharged. They came up with the idea of a faulty Ambiant Temperature Sensor... So we removed it to see what the reading was. -36F.

This means the car thought it was really cold outside and dumped more fuel to the engine to keep it at the right temps...since it wasn't that cold, it caused the engine to heat up. Thus S/C disengaged.


So we disconnected it, reset the battery, and voila. Everything is working again.

Now I just need to figure out whether it is the sensor that went bad or the wiring is bad. Gotta figure it out.

Thanks to Jake, Andy, and Nazar at Eurocharged for all the help.
