It could be that simple, since I assume you haven't measured the sensor to see if it was any good, since you said nothing about that either way. I think we were going on the basis that you had established it was in fact good and Rod looked in other places that could cause your problem.

Where did you buy and what brand were the plastic and brass ECTs? Were you ever able to measure the ECT values when cold and hot? I would have thought it should have revealed the same conclusion it wasn't working right, but hopeless "I want to know thats" like me want to learn from your experience rather than just assume your plastice ECT was junk or something more to it to broaden my knowledge. So, if you did measure the ECT values, I'd like to know what you found. Sometimes being separated from the car by two computers and translational differences, makes it hard to diagnose some things that from afar seem involved but up close with our hands on it ourselves can turn out to be as simple as what you have found. So much for virtual mechanics. Do you think you can work on that Rod?

That may not be so far off. There are a few forums that have video archives. One or two really dedicated members take video of various repairs they make, such as how to replace the brakes, how to replace the cabin air filter, how to rotate the tires, etc. They then post the video clips to youtube or similar and post the links on the forum in the "Help" section of the forum. A video of "How to your use multimeter to take measurements" and "How to backprobe a connector" would be easily adapted to multiple areas.

The brass one was "Standard" and the plastic ones were "Kem" and one other brand that I cant recall. All of the sensors that i had used up untill this one were plastic.

Hopefully this brass one will be the fix and you won't continue to fight this problem for a few years from now.
