Welcome to AF. No code actually says repl. the sensor, other issues can cause this, post back with the code for comprehensive advice. Plus there are at least 3 sensors here.

That is not a good code no for your car.
Recheck the code no..
Run it by someplace and have codes rechecked and post back all codes no.
Also we need more info like.
Tips on getting a good answer to your questions.
People trying to answer your question do not have a crystal ball.
So give them all of the info you have like year make and model and engine and transmission and mileage.
Also cars engine and transmission service history or any recent repairs or problems.
Also a description of your problem and what it is doing or not doing.
If you have codes give up the code no.
And remember a code does not say replace the part but only points to the problem that you have to check out.
So to better help you give up all of the info you have on it.

Montey,
Please take no offense by this. These forums are a WEALTH of information from knowledgable and very helpful people in the industry. Looking back - the information that you provided was not adequate enough to diagnose the problem. And yes, being a holiday weekend the responses will be low. Getting an attitude is not going to help you. Of course you could take the car to the dealer and get it repaired - but that costs money and since you are trying to be a do it your selfer, more power to you. I find that when I ask for help a full service history of what the problem/symptoms are, and what I have done to date to correct this are necessary to get imformed answers and information.

If you seek free advise, be polite and mannerly to those whom you seek information from!

Montey, you come here asking for people's opinions on a problem, and when it comes a bit later than expected, you get mad. That dont make sense because its free.. and you got to understand that.

Take a week to cool off..

Where and when did you post this a week ago? Unless I'm mistakened or the site is not functioning propery, you have 5 posts, all in this thread, including your first

Furthermore, I can only reitereate what has been already said, getting heated up over a delayed response will not net good results. Sometimes that's just the way it is, one thread you'll see instant responses, some may take a while. It's the quality of the response that matters. I'd rather a see a thread sit a couple of days and get an accurate immediate approach in the right direction instead of 10 suggestions that are way off the deep end.

You already have two of the best minds in my opinion around to aide you in finding the source of your problem, just remember, they are working with the info you provide them, they are not standing there with you using their sneses and experience to diagnose it for themselves, so what you provide is what they know.

It's unfortunate that this has resulted in a bit of time for you to cool off a bit, and even more unfortunate that you feel your answer lies aleswhere.
