2.2l heat sensor going in and out please help
 
As it states the sensor goes out randomly, I though maybe the plug was loose but it's not, I just replaced the sensor 2 weeks ago and it did it agian, randomly driving it will clear off, now my fiance was driving the car daily till u fixed hers and she said it would go out atleast once a day, I just had it happen to me twice today and it is raining outside, now I know my climate control is messed up if u have ac on change it over to heat and then back to ac the heat stays on even tho the compress is still going, but would this mess up the temp sensor, or anything in the cluster to cause the temp sensor not to work??? Once it goes out my ac doesn't work anymore as well, I don't even think my compressor turns on this is why I think it's a wiring issue and not just a sensor issue, maybe the compressor and sensor are on the same wiring and fuse??? Idk lol so I'm here for help thank you for reading

This is because if your car doesn't reach a certain temp in a certain amount of time, the computer assumes your thermostat is failed (they fail open) and ignores the reading entirely. If you're someone like me who revised his fan settings or lived in a cold-ass place, you'll get this code no matter what.

My solution was to disable the P0128 code because I have HP Tuners. Replacing the thermostat also works.

Than you very much and that's odd as it just started getting Colder here which is in the 60's before it was in 80 to 90's I will have to change the thermostat then
