Replaced all vacuum line on the solenoids sunday, so I had the UIM off the car among other sensors and solenoids I unplugged to make life easier, put everything back together and my water temp reads 42 C when its at operating temp, gauge on the car reads normal, pfc way off, WTF did I do?????

 

sounds like you either switched the water temp plug with the fuel temp or air temp. you are not the first person that happened to.

 

do u know which is which, i have the green plug to the water and i remember a blue one to the side of it??

 

yep. 100% you switched them. Need to remove UIM again. One is plug that goes to fuel rail (btw, check fuel temp on PFC ) and another plug goes to filler neck. They both green same connectors

 

thanks for the help guys ima chk it when i get home

 

Don't drive it like that! Car will be overheating

 

good looking out, and i'm not driving it currently

 

the car won't overheat if you switch those as long as everything is working... it will just deliver the incorrect amount of fuel (too rich b/c it thinks the engine is cold)

 

well that was easy, and I was able to reach the plug w/o taking the uim off, easy fix, thank s again guys!!
