Subject:No start after Temp II replacement
From:James Reed-Jones
Date:Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:50:14 -0500

Hey all,

So after returning from my first long distance trip (Ontario to New
Mexico and return) and learning the hard way that parts that are easy
to fix at home are much more difficult to fix when stuck in Nebraska
on a weekend I decided to start preventably changing out a few small
items in my 87 westy.

Today was the temp II sensors turn (to see if I could get rid of some
other issues that cropped up during the voyage).

So no problem with the replacement (I thought) until I tried to start
the engine. It will turn over but won't catch. I have tried looking to
see if I knocked something loose but couldn't see anything, I also
have tried starting with the sensor unplugged, plugged in, and plugged
into the old sensor (dangling - I didn't swap it back).

Any suggestions as to what I may have done and can look for would be great!

Thanks,

James
