    Sensor near drivers side fog light?

    I went out to go home from work, and the car wont start. I looked around and saw some wires hanging under the front bumper, actually OUT from under the bumper near the drivers side fog. A brown wire and a blue wire. The blue wire has a boot connector on the end, the brown wire is disconnected in a way that looks like it was TORN from a sensor or something. Does anybody know what sensor this is that Im talking about. The car wont start now and my car is going to be stranded at work. :drink::drink:


    UPDATE: read most recent posts, I know it's not this sensor.

    I think it is the temp sensor for the OBC

        thats what I thought too... but would that cause the car to stall out and not start? I didnt think it would... so i figured it must be something else. Wtf is wrong with this carrrrrr.

          3 most common culprits... Fuel pump/relay, crank sensor, Ecu

            check the ohms of the sensor while still installed it is a pita to replace

            Check if there is power to the fuel pump

              Changed the fuel filter today... that wasnt the problem. I dont think it's the CPS because the car runs... it just stalls at idle... I think it may be the ignition coils, so unfortunately, those are next to be replaced.

              As for the fuel pump, its getting plenty of nice, clean, tasty fuel... found that out the hard way today. lol

                  save yourself the trouble and do the COP conversion. Otherwise, ive got two sets of coils
