I have a friend who has a 1990 245 DL that threw a code 123 on the lh 2.4 diagnostic, indicating a missing or faulty ECT sensor signal. The sensor on there was badly corroded, so I replaced it with a new Bosch one from FCP Euro. After replacement, the ECU was reset and the same code is being thrown. At this time, we know that the water pump is bad and it's about to get replaced. Could a bad water pump cause a stalling condition in this scenario? The coolant temp gauge in the cluster is not going above halfway at full throttle. Current symptoms are a diving idle at stop and intermittent stalling at stop, but not while the car is moving. Fuel Pump Relay is engaging and the main pump is not straining. Throttle response is good after replacing the air filter with an iPD panel filter. What gives? Bad ground? Bad sensor wire?
If anyone has a testing procedure that I can follow, please share. Thanks.
