Hi,

Was doing a little reading on the GIAC Website (since i have a GIAC) and they indicate that the green temp sensor is reqd in order to see the most gains from any programming wether it be REVO GIAC, APR ... etc.

So that leads to my poll....
Any faults prior to replacing?
Any changes after replacing?
Any warning signs i should pay attention to ?

 

I noticed no difference. but I do know that some people on here had some bad problems with there car only to find out all they needed was a $20 piece. I'd get it just to save you a headache that could come up later.

 

yea, it is really cheap. im gonna take a peak to see what work is involved for replacing that damn piece.

PS: did you manage3 to fix the chattering from the flywheel combo?

any other thoughts?

 

Oh its very easy. It takes all of 3 minutes. Just do it after your car has been sitting for a while because there will be pressure in there. The hardest part was figuring how to unclip it but its the same as most of the weird clamps int the car. Go check it out and try undoing it before you get it therefore when you get it, it will be a sinch! No, i didnt fix the chattering. I think its gonna be like that normally. I was aware that there was gonna be a chatter before I got it, I guess it was just louder than I expected. But I usually cruise with my music on and you can't hear it even if you have it on low. I freakin love it though! I can't wait till its broken in and I can drive it like a bat outta hell!

 

the dealer replaced mine free, no warranty or anything

 

The 2000's, maybe all '01's with ATC 180 engines have the blue square one, and not the faulty black sensor that needs to be replaced with the green on.

 

My 03' 225 has a black one.

 

Thinking, I have a 02...black one right now.

 

i have a 2000 ATC code. im gonna pull the ssensor or at least try to do it on my lunch break today. ill see what it looks like.

could be possible that it is a blue square one?

if so, then im good to go, with no replacements?

 

Here's some pics to help you
