1. buy new coolant reservoir tank...

2. figure out what the hell is wrong w/ coolant temperature sensor(if related to leaks from sensor, which i doubt)

3. fix AC so i can stop using rags to wipe windshield [ac not blowing out windshiel defrost](optional since it is not causing the CEL to go on)

3.5 find a reliable mechanic in greater seattle area to fix #2 and possibly #3 for a normal price(yes i know i said 3 problems...)


HERE ARE THE ERROR CODES, AND IN CASE THERE ARE ANY MECHANICS HERE(or reccomendations on who to call) please help!

P.S. I have changed my coolant temperature sensor about 3 months ago and I don't know why the problem keeps reappearing...

DaveInSaltLake

check the voltages from the sensor hot and cold to verify it's operating properly.

double check you changed the right sensor...G62 is on the driver's side near the firewall, but can be confused with F76 on the passenger side.

Djole

anybody have diagrams to show the different positons where these sensors are exactly?

you're looking at the rear of the engine in this view, so the drivers' side is on the left.

this is probably why my coolant temp is always DOWN...(i mean the gage is all the way down) except when i'm on freeway for a bit it raises but then goes back down...?

P.S. so i'm gonna buy the F76 sensor which is part number 034 919 369C(acquired from the link u gave me ) that exact one should work for me right? (buying that and coolant reservoir tank from autohausaz and gettin free shipping .. hopefully this will stop the leaks and stop the check engine light so then all i have left to go to the mechanic with is the damn ac not blowin thorugh windshield problem...

Djole

P.S.2. thanks for your help

it may be different from my 1992 to your 1996.
