Fixed Again

Well, the car repair that I mentioned last time wasn't as bad as I thought. I bought a new Engine Temperature Control Sensor at the Saturn dealership and asked Tuffy's to install it. They installed it for $10, so all in all, it only was $35. However, the wire harness was broken also, so I had to buy that too, which was another $30. I had to splice the wiring harness in place of the existing wire set, but otherwise, it wasn't too bad. Now, the car runs like new. I can't believe how much of a difference it made. This is likely the reason I was getting poorer gas mileage too, as the computer wasn't sensing the coolant temperature properly, and thus allowing too much fuel in the mixture. Oh well. Live and learn. Hopefully, this will be the last repair in a long time. For some reason, I've got a good feeling about my car, a feeling that I'll have thousands of trouble free miles ahead. Ah, if life were only that simple.
