RE: [T3] Another rough running engine...Update


Ok, I am really in the dark now.  I checked my overflow hose and while it
was not in perfect shape it really does not look that bad.  I also did the
visual check down in the tank with a flash light, it looked pretty clear.
So on the full tank I took a drive and the boggind down is was still and
issue.  So I drove home, mad some checks of the engine electrical
connections.  I get back in the car and take another drive.  Drive perfect
no problems at all.  I stop in a parking lot and check the connections
again.  In the process of checking I unplugged the temp sensor on top of the
oil cooler (oil temp sensor?) and it was not connected.  I connect.  I start
driving and the bogging down starts again.  I stop again and disconnect the
oil temp sensor and she drives fine.  Does this make sense?  
Additionally, when I have had trouble getting her started in the past, I
thought this sensor was the air temp sensor and I was unplugging it and the
car would start.  Apparenly, I need a new sensor, but would it cause all
these problems?
Thanks,
