I have a 1995 GLE. Now I did the ECU Diagnostic and got the 0304 (knock sensor) which I will replace later, but I also have the 0401 (intake air temp. sensor). Now here's the weird thing.
When you start the car, you hear a few beeps. When I start my car before the beeps end, I get the check engine light. Now lets says I started my car too soon and the light is on, I don't have to reset the ecu liked I used to to get the light off, I just shut off the car, and then wait for beep to end and start it again and the check engine light is gone. Any ideas?

Also, my front driver side wheel has play in it (meaning we can move the wheel back and forth towards me and the car). The mechanic suggested the wheel hub, I only thought it was the wheel bearings. Now I trust what he says, is there anythingelse to look for? I searchd the org and some ppl mentioned drive shaft seals and differential bearings, is this part of cause too? Here's the link for that one:

I do hear like a murmur sound type thing driving the car and some grinding, due to my cv boot ripped with no grease.

What would be your experienced judgment on symptoms like this? I want to be aware of all and anythings I should do while I have the car out like this. Bearings on both front wheels will be replaced and hub replacement on driver side, new raxles for both driver and passenger fronts. Anythingelse to look for appreciated concerning my issues with the wheel play

, alright here it is I kept getting the 0401 code too. the air temp sensor is the air ambient sensor. It is the sensor that is in the intake looks like a plastic needle from 97-99 and from 95-96 it is shaped like a little U. If you have your stock air box the sensor would be right behind the stock air box. My sensor was loose. go pop your hood and see if you can pull it gently. If it comes loose you need to secure it. If it is secure then it might me damaged. Hope that helps. God helped me fix that problem due to a favor I did for my mom. I believe in God. If you cant locate it, Ill dig up a pic and help you locate it.

I know what it is, It is secured to my K/N Cone Filter. I made a hole at the rubber part of my K/N and put the temp sensor in, everything is secured so it might be damaged or maybe wire got bad? Oh well, I guess that and the Knock Sensor to be replaced at a later time.

you know what it is cool. Did you make sure that it was snapped all the way in to the harness? If not then you might have pulled on the wire or something.
