Hi, I'm new to this forum. My poor horsey mobile has the check engine light on. I took it to oreily and the diagnostics scan said, "P0125 Insufficient coolant temp for closed loop fuel control." My horsey mobile has a bad history with it's antifreeze system cause the last owner was dumb and put just water in it. It even needed to have a pump replaced because it was all rusted out. My temperature gauge has never worked right; it doesn't move from C unless I've been driving for a while.
I bought a temperature sensor from Oreily's and put it in the spot next to the intake manifold, screwed into that brown metal pipe, where only one wire appears to go into it. Now, the engine light's still on and the temperature gauge actually moves farther left towards "C" than when the car is off. I think I also need to replace something called the "Temperature sensor switch" or something. It's another 20 dollar part I'm getting mailed in from oreilys, but I don't know where it is to replace.
Also, I'm afraid I might have them mixed up or something. The sensor I took out was (rusty) and looked like a cylinder shape on the end, where as the one I put in was cone shaped like this one: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com...5-Ford-Mustang-50L-Coolant-Temperature-Sensor .
1. Did I put the right sensor in? Or does it just look newer.
2. Where's the other temperature thing. Is it this one near by with the two wires?
3. Are those two brown rusted pipes I'm showing you replaceable? Is it practical?
Thank you for any advice.
