Hi Everyone,



Question for you all. On GM's 3800 II engine, how does it know what the temperature of the engine is so that it knows the correct air/fuel mixture? Reason I ask is that at 160-180 degrees my engine has a 50/50 chance of starting. I'm thinking the car thinks the engine is cold when it's really hot.



Thanks,



Sam



It has a temp sensor , scan it and look at the temp readings for the info.

Do you know where it is at?

Thanks,
