I just found out the other day I've been running an ACT sensor in place of my ECT for several months now, simply because I'm an idiot; long story.
So I put in a new Motorcraft ECT today, but my question is: could I have caused damage in the comp. or the circuit by using the incorrect sensor for so long? AKA, will my ECT now function correctly? Time will tell if the "hard hot starting" and poor MPG go away, as I just put it in and drove 5 minutes back to work, but any opinions in advance about possible electrical damage I might've done?
Thanks guys,
Jeremy
