    Since most other sensors are ignored until the vehicles reaches a certain temp...if the car doesnt know what temp it is....chicken with head cut off. Agreeing with the whole panel

    It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!

      The CTS is definitely bad. It won't even register on the meter. Now the problem is that it's frozen in place. Any ideas on how to free it up without damaging the engine?

        I used a prayer + 36" pipe wrench.

        It worked.

        Good Luck.

            my 93 smells like gas also. my 1991 had the same problems for two years could not figure is out. one day working on it and dropped a rachet on the vaf wires and it started to run better so i wiggle the plug on the vaf meter and it is loose and rpms went up and down so have the engine running and start shaking wires around to see if there is and loose conections.

              I can't break this dang CT sensor loose from the manifold. Even WD-40 didn't loosen the thing up. I could get it loose but I think I'd tear 2 or 3 other things up getting it out. Have any of you had this thing this bad stuck before? If so how did you get it to break free?

                GOT IT FIXED!!!! Finally broke the CT sensor loose, changed it without losing coolant, fired her up and she's running smooooooth. The key was getting the trouble code. :wav:

                Guys, thank you so much for all the input!!!
