Ok, so I did a self diagnostic test on mey ECU and i came up with 2 codes. The first one was for a knock sensor. Is this some $5 part at my local parts store? tThe second one was for my air intake temp sensor.....should I go to a mechanic or check out the parts store?

 

I would tell you to reset the code.. and wait a week to see if it comes back..

if it does..

knock sensor cost $180+ but.. Knock sensor is a code that is followed by another code.. usually when you fix the other problem the knock sensor goes away..

air temp sensor:

Diagnostic Trouble Code 0401 points to a problem with the Intake Air Temperature Sensor. The IATS is mounted in the engine air intake duct, downstream of the air cleaner filter. It detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the Engine Control Module. The sensor uses a thermistor, a resistor with a value which is inversely proportional to temperature. The IATS is not directly used to control the engine. It is used only for diagnostic purposes. Therefore the engine should start and run normally, even with the Malfunction Indicator Light on and DTC 0401 stored.

This malfunction is detected when ...
a) An excessively low or high voltage from the sensor is detected by the ECM.
b) The signal from the IATS is inconsistent with the signal received from the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

Possible causes include ...
- Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
- a faulty Intake Air Temperature Sensor

The IATS resistance values should be ...
- at 14 degrees F, 7.0-11.4 Kohms
- at 68 degrees F, 2.1-2.9 Kohms
- at 176 degrees F, 0.27-0.38 Kohms

For further information about the Intake Air Temperature Sensor please refer to the Chilton repair manual (page 4-16) or the Haynes repair manual (page 6-11).

you live in Bridgeport.. i live in Waterbury

 

ok i typed that thinking and hoping you are female if i am wrong.. go fix it your damn self
