Technican: The 2.3L Turbo does have an air ACT sensor. This could be the problem, as could the other temp sensors and fuel pressure. The ACT is only about $15 at autozone, partsamerica (Advance), etc. To view a picture of the sensor copy and paste the folling link into your address bar. partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?mfrcode=NIE&mfrpartnumber=TS81341&parttype=756&ptset=A If you have trouble with the link simply visit partsamerica.com and look up the part for your car.
Owner: Can you tell me where the temp sensor is located? I've looked for it and can't find it. Thank you, Dave Nagle
Technican: I looked at a wiring diagram and it should have a pink and black wire attached, if you have one. Apparently some didn't, sorry for any confusion- information is sketchy. Have you had trouble codes pulled, autozone does it for free on many cars. Call ahead. Autozone.com also offer a free online repair guide for your car (in case you don't have a paper manual).
