    very intermittent check engine light

    today and like 6 months ago the check engine light is on for a little bit while the car was warming up.

    I did a stomp test and got a code 1223 for coolant temperature sensor

    I found a receipt where the previous owner had the sensor replaced like 4 years ago

    Does someone have the spec on what the resistance values are supposed to be on it.

    could dirty injectors or bad 02 sensor be the culprit without throwing a code because those probably need to be changed?

    Is motronic capable of detecting a misfire?

      Its in neighborhood of 2000-3000 cold and 200-300 hot.

      The other things wont throw coolant temp code but could cause shitty running. Motronic cant detect a misfire.

        Could be a wiring issue. If sensor is good, I would check the wire for wear and tear next.
