so today i took the liberty of washing my car and decided i would wash my engine. so i got done and it ran fine. got to a buddies house and put it in park and it started idling at 1500 RPM when in drive its at about 1100RPM. ive reset the CEL 2 times and it hasnt fixed the problem. anyone have any ideas??? i need help fast.
havent ran it yet imma do that tonite
Im throwing Codes PO118 and PO122. so High voltage at the Coolant temp sensor and Low voltage at the TPS. what could have happend??
you need to replace those sensors
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
there bothe brand new. and it happend RIGHT after i washed my motor. i can understand maybe getting water in my TPS but the coolant temp sensor shoudl be fine.
Maybe they were bad sensors on the way out, or maybe you shorted them. I probably just OCD on this but I cover all sensors, alt, ecu and other electronics with plastic baggies whenever I power wash the engine bay down. Then I let it stand and dry completely before even turning the key, haven't had a problem yet.
Have you taken the sensors out to see if there is any standing water on them? It's pretty humid here so nothing is drying off, not sure about Montana.
Im thinking you got water in the sensor plugs...
Is the problem still there?

i figured out what the problem was. it wasnt water in the PLUG. i got water inside my TPS and it shorted it out. so i warrentied it out at work yesterday (Dishonest i know. but i couldnt afford a new one and i figured why not) and it fixed my problem. no codes and the car seems to run a little better anyways. so it wasnt all that bad.
