Hey all, a few weeks back I posted about a startup issue. From all my research it seems to be CTS. But I cant confirm. Truck runs fine cold, once warms it loads up, hard to start, rough idle, too much fuel to drive. The CTS in my truck snapped into two parts. Luckily it didn't damage the manifold. I attempted to put the new CTS into the port on the left cylinder head port, but the plug with a square in it rounded out, even though I have the right bits for it. So then I just took the CTS with a green wire out for my gauge, and put the 2 prong CTS there. It didn't work, so yesterday I bought a new water outlet with ports in it, and currently have the CTS there. The problem persists. Today I received the gaskets to swap manifolds with a spare, but the truck dosent have a vacuum leak, so I'm hesitant.
Is the water neck not a suitable spot for CTS because its above thermostat and dosent receive a steady flow of coolant?
If I unplug the CTS and the problem remains does this mean its not the CTS?
The truck passed the voltage drop test, and the only sensor on it that is still original is TPS.
Maybe the answer is staring right at me, I often muck up simple things. Thank you guys for all the help and insight.
TL;DR (too long, didnt read) Why does my truck run rich on warm startups?
