this might be a dumb thing to ask but could this be why my car has been stuttering so badly at full throttle??? well obviously it seems bad but if this IS the cause of it, how and where can i get a replacement? how much?

yes, the thermosensor is a pretty big part of how the ECU percieves engine temperatures and adjusts your injections pulse width.

in short, it can cause a few different symtoms but if it will fully cure your stuttering problem i'm not sure but it definitely needs to be repaired for your engine to run properly.

well i was told that what was broken was the coolant sensor. could that possibly cause stuttering? what about a low battery? i charged it just for a start this morning and i noticed when i tapped the gas my car would pause and rev when i let go. at times it even sounded like it was dying. i just changed the fuel filter but it still stutters, next on the list: fuel pump.

if anyone can provide any info at all about the stuttering issue i really would appreciate it. thanks

I would suggest that you look at your TPS. Test both the no throttle and WOT conditions. Also slowly and steadily test the full transition from no throttle to WOT. Use a digital multimeter or even better would be an oscilloscope. If the transition is not at all smooth or the tested values are incorrect then you need to replace it.

thermosensor=coolant sensor for the ECU, see my above post.
