hmm, not even sure if thats the cause of the no start. so i was wondering if a bad ECT causes a no start?

turbohf

yes....

think about it for a sec... what does the ECT do? it provides coolant temp for fueling and ignition calculation... so if its fucked up how is it gonna provide the correct fuel/timing for it to run or even start?

Minor Threat

Only car that had a bad one that I worked on, or bad wiring to it rather, was a bitch to start and ran like ----.

i tried unplugging the ECT sensor and tried to start it up. But it still wouldnt start. Damn it.
