Getting the Wheeling Fever
Thank you Frank, Doug, Brendan and all who helped me troubleshoot my thermostat sensor problem. You sure know your stuff. The sensor now gets grounded by a light switch installed inside the car. When I need to shift into 4th, I simply throw the switch. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> It will get me by until I decide if I should pay top dollar at the dealer or order a replacement sensor online. Thanks a million!

That's a unique fix and will certainly work, but don't hit the new shift switch until the engine's warm or a little Japanese Samurai warrior will jump out of the glove box and slap you silly! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Glad you found the problem. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
