About LinkBacksSo two weeks ago I stuck a 160 tstat in for the track.
Finally threw the CEL on the way back from the track.
Pulled fuse 11 to clear the code p0128; however, I have had the 180 tstat back in for the past 10 days and still get a CEL everytime I start the car.
CRAP CRAP CRAP.
Made sure fluid levels were all good..but I really want to get rid of this Yellow Engine light
Can anyone give me some instructions??
Thanks for your help!!!

If you are not hitting 180*in a certain time frame the CEL won't clear.You may have a stuck T-Stat as well.Try clearing with fuse 11 then autostick when cold with higher rpms till you hit 180*.If the CEL comes back you may have to change the T-Stat.

thx guys, I'll toss the stock 210 tstat in and see if that clear the CEL.
I dont care about the code as much as I do the CEL.
Looks like I have a 5 minute tstat project...:grin:**No Longer an LX Owner - just a crazy lurker with sign on priveleges
