CA Check Engine Light

I got a check engine light on my Fc GTU. it was a code 08 and it was the temperature sensor. replaced it but the light is still there. im pretty sure its just a broken wire.

Another thing is when i turn fast or sharply the check oil light will come on and that annoying beeping noise with it. the oil gauge is fine but i guess the sensor is fucked.

Where can i find the oil sensor gauge and where can i find the wire that lights up the check engine light?

An error code #8 is for the AFM.

RX7 FD & Series 5 Error Codes

The oil level sensor is on one side of the oil pan so when you turn hard towards one direction the oil swishes to one side and away from the sensor thus the buzzing alarm sound. The oil pressure gauge is not an indicator of the oil level so you likely need more oil.

About the check engine light thats what the previous owner said but i also asked a mechanic and he said it was probably just a bad wire.

if your oil level is low and or you corner really hard the oil level light will come on. so it sounds like its working fine.

for the CEL code you need an AFM, and recheck

It's underneath the airbox. The link provided shows in the top right the AFM, which has five connections, and pin 2B is of importance. Below the diagram is a chart of the pins and it illustrates how pin 2B should behave. Check it at the ECU.
