Mate, Just wanted to say, £2+k and 3 garages and your video sorted the problem. Thank you from a guy in Scotland. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Having similar symptoms with my 95 Subaru Impreza 2.2L. I know the coolant temp sensor is a "common" issue, so I think I'll go this route before I start throwing other parts at it. Thanks mate!!

You just might have saved my bacon there friend; I'm experiencing exactly the same problems - car stutters once warmed up and doesn't idle properly. Already cleaned out the throttle body, replaced throttle body gasket, cleaned injector, replaced exhaust oxygen sensor, spark plugs, spark plug cables and ignition coil; not to mention the entire exhaust as the old one got burned up due to too rich fuel mixture.. I really REALLY hope this solves it or ima hafta give up on this car.. Thanks again!

When you get a problem like this, bad tickover and generally running rough, it actually makes you stressed and ill! Good fix.

Glad to hear it worked....older video but maybe my comment will help someone. Have the exact same problem with my F150 5.4L 3V. Thesr engines are the plague from hell....fixed numerous stuff as it ages. My codr reader actually read "eratic signal ECT". I got a new and plan to put it in tomorrow.....big pain have to pull the intake manifold....it deep in the valley between cylinder banks.....Ford strikes again. After your vid I dont feel so bummed out taking it apart.

Mate, seriously if this works you are an absolute legend..! Ive had the same problem with my 54 reg Corsa SXi 16v and so far forked out on a new coil pack, new plugs, had engine flush through it and all sorts. Was about to give up hope!!

i have a saturn astra that started misfiring in cylinder 3. pretty sure it's the coil pack but now you're gonna make me double check the coolant sensor. such a weird little car, but nice when it works haha

What i liked about your videos is that u talked about the symthoms and you showed the fix and the test drive many youtube videos just talk and dont show the fix

I added engine coolant to car. Then rough idle went away. Accelaration hesitation also went away. Engine coolant was on the low side but no error code for over heating or coolant sensor. Who would have thought!

Man I've been having this happen at seemingly random moments and I had no clue what it could be. Only difference I have is that sometimes when I cold start it'll get the misfires consistently until I got the engine warm.

I had the same problem wasn't very smooth when idling from a standing start seem to struggle an when traveling it would seem to splutter hesitate with excelaration it turned out to be the seals on the fuel pump an filter inside the fuel tank had perished an split so instead of the pump delivering fuel to the engine it was just putting it back into the fuel tank replaces all seal an it worked no problem soon as I fired it back up

just use a 19 ring spanner, no space issues. if you dont take the filler cap of almost no fluid comes of. easy job.

Hi Lee . I was wondering what your engine temperature gauge was showing before you changed the sensor

At least u got a code in my 98 accord it took .e about 2 weeks to find out it was either the ECT or fan switch

Thank you gonna try this on the TL

I replaced my one today made no difference.. heard before about this sensor, and everything he described in the video is what's happening to my corsa. Mine cost me £6.66 and a pain in the butt getting the cable off. So no real big loss but was so hopeful.

i know u don't have this anymore bro but I had same problem simply unplug each sensor 1 at a time till it idles ok mine was the air flow meter keep up the great content bro

Same thing happen to me. Did ur engine coolant overheats as well. Curious cuz that happened to me and was wondering if it’s related some how. Took me a while to get my spark plugs changed so thought it messed up the engine coolant as well?

Nice!🙂👍cheers from Australia

So is that how you drain the coolant, by taking out the sensor?

Be got the same hesitation problem with my Astra will try cleaning the mass airflow sensor tomorrow which I doubt would help , then will try changing the ignition coil pack, if that doesn't work then will clean the throttle body , if that don't work I guess it's time to move on

Did you get a coolant message on the display on the centre console as I have the same problem with misfire but also have a coolant message.

if its the 1,6 twinport z16xep, things to watch out for: pcv valve failure, its built into the plastic rocker cover, lean error codes and hesitation/poor idle exhaust manifold cracks and sounds like a missfire when revved inlet manifold baffle plate, sounds like tappets or bent valves, just rebuild inlet manifold fixes it. if you unplug the egr valve, youll get missfires and hesitation like a camshaft sensor error. and fails to start after randomly shutting off on occasion. poor rocker cover design lets oil into the throttle body through the pcv valve and fills the lower inlet manifold good luck with your astra lee

clogged FGR channels might be the problem - common problem with the Z16XEP model. goes away if you clean or block the FGR with a blankin plate.

Exact problem with my accord

I have a misfire problem on my 1.4 tsi polo gti. All the cylinders seem to have misfires I have changed the spark plugs the coils , also cleaned the car's induction which had lot of dirt. The car's mileage is 64000 km so I don't think it's a matter o fuel injectors. You think I should try this sensor? Or any other ideas please? thank you

Hope someone can help got a 1.8xer that hesitates when you floor it ,no codes or eml on but starts and idles fine

Did you fix that? What cause the problem?

Hi , but all the cars have this sensor ? And it’s location is different in each car , whereto find this location , how to locate it In our car !?

My Astra 1.4 2012 stuttered and then stopped. Diagnosed number 2 cylinder misfiring. Now won't start. New coil pack and crank sensor with no effect, I'll give this a try.

Ok bro by the way your videos are really good I ahve subscribed

What docket set is that?

If you only see misfire codes, it's usually the camshaft sensor.

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Main fan does it make the car have misfire

What coolant sensor has got to do with misfireing!!

i have seat leon 1.9 tdi and it has a fault code p0118 and sometimes goes to 1000 rpm and stays there for fer minutes and goes back to normal after that does someone know whats the problem .. thanks :)

Ty replaced temperature sensor no more misfiring. U da man lol ty vvmuch 2007 mini cooper

A LOT OF ASE MECHANICS MISS THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR,THE MAF AND THE CTS ONE THE AMOUNT OF AIR AND THE OTHER THE ENGINE INTERIOR TEMP ENGINES ARE DESIGNED TO RUN BEST @ 175 DEGREE!!

Thank you! Gonna try this out the Tl

Same happened to me on my 2003 Isuzu Rodeo

Hello if anyone could help my with my Opel Astra 1.6 xer. I always have an error p0170, bad fuel economy and bad acceleration.

I just ordered that very tool box 20 minutes ago. 😄

You kinda resemble Sergio Ramos from real madrid. Anyhow .. I'm getting multi misfire ahhh this is my other guess I have a Saab 9-3..

iv got an 1.6 twinport.....the revs are pretty low and sum times cuts out wen i start cus they drop so low .....i had this problem with my fiesta st i just cleaned the throttle body and it was fine so i think this is the same thing ....just passed mot and man said the fact this is 2006 reg its in amazing condition. its only done 49000 miles ....can any1 help ...hopefully im right

Hi bro I heard ur problem and I don't think u have the Astra now. My dad had that problem bear in mind am 17 years old and I soon to be driving a corsa bro . Anyway my dad had that problem at traffic lights keeping his foot on accelerator revving otherwise it would cut out and he had new coil packs and crank shaft censor and new wiring loom and new fuel injectors He then had a machine hooked up from his mate. He had the engine running and he took out fuel injector 1 and the engine did nothing so cylinder 1 had gone. When we did the same to injector 2 and pulled it out, it made it splutter even worse. That showed that injector 1 was not working at all and also there was blue smoke coming out exhaust and that also showed burning oil through chamber through the bores . Anyway we had to have a new engine and then when we opened the engine block and we saw that the piston rings cylinder 1, 2 and 3 had fucked up No pistons rings in them and chunks put of piston so that was the problem of misfiring for us don't know about yours night of been the same. Can u let me know what was wrong with yours bro .

i tried that. doesn't fix it

did you also get a p017152 on your car? mine works fine when the engine is cold, but when it's fully worm up it starts to hesitate, missfire like a harsh shift mostly at 1800 rpm and the rev needle is not stable

Man, I really do not understand why do you change it. I expect to see the values coming from temperature sensor firstly by some cheap diag OBD2 ELM tool. That is easier than go directly to try changing sensors. I understand that bad temp sensor can make a problems. But many other engine sensors too, are you going to change all of them?

Help please. i got zafira b 2009 with error code p2182 coolant temp sensor 2 circut. but i cant find where is it located under the bonnet. thanks.

Ist hard to find real Mecanics that can hit the nail right away with out any codes. Kids out there please finish school & study Mecanic

Whatttt the fuck are you talking about....whats a caaaaa?

Man ur high

115k veiws, y'reet lad

Nic

Thank you for your video,but it makes people headache because it is not stable, and you should show more clearly ( far and near pics)

Its not simple or cheap but try not buying a vauxhall
