Degrees farenheit (F) are at the bottom in parentheses. The left hand of the chart is in thousands of ohms. So at 68 degrees the sensor should read close to 2000 ohms. It's not important to be that precise. As the temp goes up, the ohms go down. If you go out and check it when it's cold, it should be somewhere between 1000 and 4000 ohms, depending your outside temperature. If it's bad, I would think you wouldn't even get the ohmmeter to give a reading, as it would be shorted out. That's why the ECM is throwing a code, because it can't get a reading either. I hope it's that easy for you.

Ok, thanks. Do you think Napa would have a replacement if it's bad? It'd be a lot easier and quicker than ordering one...

Even if they don't have it in stock, they are very quick in getting one. For me, it's usually the next day.

I checked the vafm with the ohmmeter and it's good. I went to check the ect and it wasn't connected well. I put it on better and the truck started w/the vafm connected, but it only ran for 2 seconds. I have no idea what that means. The ect also checked out fine with the ohmmeter. Also, the sensor to the passenger side of the ect seemed to be a little loose. Here's a picture I found that shows the sensors(ect far left, looseish one far right):

Here's a video, the first sensor I tap is the ect and the second is the loose-ish one:

Sorry for the poor quality and if they're sideways or something, they were taken with my phone.

Video of the truck starting with the ECT in good and the VAFM plugged in(and the battery's dying):

Any ideas on things to check next? I really need this done, it's my DD

Did you replace the ECT with a new one? What codes are you getting now, if any?

k808soljah

When I went to pull codes again yesterday all I got was the light constantly flashing with no pattern or pauses. I'll try again today after reseting. Should I replace the ECT? It checked out with the ohmmeter, but if you think it'd be good to replace it then I can do that. I'm just getting tired of throwing parts at it and I'm running out of money

If all it did was flash you do not have any codes.
