Got some odd issues going on. Have a P0117 code, coolant temperature sensor. Truck has two, one on the intake manifold with two wires and one on the thermostat housing with one red wire. Gauge on the dash still works. Which one is bad?
Issue. Driving down the road, and around the time the thermostat opens, boom, truck loses power and won't respond to throttle. Lasts about 10 seconds and comes roaring back. Sometimes, I have to pull over, shut the truck off and restart it to make it go away. Since it happens around the time the stat opens, I am assuming it is the sensor on the front of the thermostat housing that has gone bad.
For the record, EVAP and EGR have been gone a long time. Never caused any issues. The P0117 is a recent occurrence. So I am hoping that is it.
