Started our TL this morning. On the first start it stalled. On the second start it started but ran like poop. I gave it a few seconds to see if it would recover by itself but it did not. Turned it off then restarted it and it worked fine. CEL was lit.
Stopped and started it another 2 times while out and about and again it worked just fine.
By the time I got home the CEL had gone off, but I checked the logged fault codes and the only one there was P0118, which points at the coolant temp sensor.
I have no problem replacing the sensor, I was just wondering if it could lead to the symptoms I was seeing. A few references on the net indicated it could, but I figured Id ask the experts here first.
FWIW the EGR, intake and IACV were cleaned a few months ago along with a valve adjustment so Im guessing its not them.
Thanks.
