alright.. so i decided i was going to throw the tester on the cold start sensor and as soon as i hardly touched the connector with the testor probe the connector just fell right off.. finally FINALLY causing my check engine light to come on lol

so the actual cold start sensor itself is soo rotted you cant even see where the connector hooks back onto it, no even close

but the good news is the connetor will be able to be saved with a little bit of cleaning! at least the truck doesent run any different, still like crap but didnt get any worse

 

At least it sounds like you found your problem.

 

finally lol.. its only been like a year.. but truck should be gettin parked next friday for tear down and rebuild

 

3.4 swap?

 

actually.. to be honest i have been trying to look into a diesel swap.. although 3.4 swap has come into my mind once or twice.. haha cant decide at all! aybe just keep the old 3.0

 

so out of curiosity.. ill be picking up my cold start sensor monday and putting it in.. any words of advice for getting old one out and new one in? its a pretty tight space! haha
