i am getting a p0336 code and the car will not run right i was getting a p0335 then i just changed the sensor again cleaned the connector now i get the p0336 code and i dont know why i checked other posts and most of them say to change the sensor or clean the connection but ive already done that so i dont really know what else to do with it i am about to take it somewhere to get it fixed but i really dont want to do that id rather do it myself cause i dont want to spend the money to have someone else do it but i really dont know what else i should do with it at this point

i would also like to point out that the car will not start sometimes and sometimes it will right away

When you changed the sensor, did you change out the wiring harness too? It sounds like it's an electrical problem that's throwing off your sensor. Are your battery and alternator still in ship shape?

Not sure if you have this but hope it helps. And hope you can read it.

Umm I'm pretty sure that's not happening since that involves changing the entire sub wire harness for the engine bay. Piece #1 below.

Have you checked your timing? Any timing belt work done on the car lately?

wade623

battery and alternator are good 14.1v while running. i havent really drove it since i did the head gasket back in may
cant really read the picture kind of blurry on the small print

Hitting [CTRL] and [+] helped me read it better :-)

Basically the troubleshooting JJ291 linked to involves checking the voltage between various points and the sensor itself. Step one involves an ECU relearn procedure.

wade623

thanks for the tip on reading that and how do you you go about an ECU relearn? and i just replaced the sensor so i dont really think that is it if i can find out how to do that and it dont work i think im going to redo the timing belt and see if that might be it

ECU relearn is hecka easy. It just takes about fifteen minutes of your time.
1.) Warm the car up to operating temperature.
2.) Shut it off.
3.) Go under the hood and pull the ECU fuse (more on that in a bit) and put it back in.
4.) Start the car. Make sure all lights/AC/radio/other electrical items are OFF
5.) Let the car idle for 10 minutes. DO NOT touch the gas.
6.) Idle relearn complete, your gas mileage may be crappier and you won't pass emissions for a hundred miles or so. Boom goes the dynamite.

alright then ill try that when i get some free time
no worries about emissions dont need that here

Sorry off topic but I'm a new guy here. How do I post my own thread???

It's always better to research your question first before you post... chances are pretty good that it has been covered before.

I ended up taking it to a shop and the reason for it running so bad was actually a coil pack and the coolant temp sensor but it still has the code the guy at the shop said it was possible that it could of been from it missing so bad that it caused the code but I've been driving it around fir a little while and I reset the codes with a scanner and I still have the code and it is jerking a little and is limited to 3500 rpm so where should I go from here?

wade623

well i ended up replacing the sensor for the third time and it seemed to work this time i guess the first two were bad. so thanks for the info it was some what useful
