After having my car for a year I just discovered that the wires to the thermotime sensor (the one in the thermostat housing)are not connected. A wire is connected to one side of the lead and ran to ground. Wouldn't this cause the cold start valve to stay open all the time? I am assuming this was done because the thermotime sensor is bad. How can I check the sensor? I have another question on the control pressure regulator. Mine does not have vacuum connections on it. Is this the wrong regulator or a later version? Thanks for helping me return my car to it original condition!
