Hey! I own a Volvo 760 and I replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor. I bought it aftermarket from IPD and after putting it in I got a CEL on plus it is having a really hard time starting cold and it is driving me insane! I got the code 1-2-3 meaning its not getting a right reading from the sensor I just replaced.
I determined that either I messed up some wiring or the new sensor was bad. I bought another sensor from IPD (same aftermarket one) and it reads differently on the dashboard but it still has the CEL on and the same cold start issue. Do you think I need to buy an OEM sensor or is it the wiring, it ran perfectly fine before replacing just ran lean because the previous sensor was making the gauge bounce around occasionally and read it was running cold all the time. Sadly I cannot put the old sensor back in because I threw it away and lost it in the garbage. Any help would be very helpful, thank you!
