Default Recurring Engine Code Redux - 08-22-2007 , 06:11 PM






On my '00 malibu (203000km), I've had the code P0113 (Air Intake Temp High
Input) show up over and over on my OBD2 reader. So just now I went under
the hood in search of the temp sensor. I found it. The codes were caused
by the fact the 2 wires were ripped clear of the plug that goes into the
sensor.
Is this plug available on the retail market or will I have to go thru a
dealership? How much would it cost? Does the new plug com with the leads
install and ready to splice in?

I do not know about this particular plug, but these plugs are generally not
available except from the dealer. Your dealer will have to give you the cost
and whether it comes with leads. Most come with the terminals separate,
which you crimp onto the wires and then insert into the connector body. Your
best bet might to try at a wrecking yard where you could get the complete
plug with short wires to splice to your old ones. You would probably need to
take the old connector with you to find a match.

Thanks Dan. I never thought of a wrecker. Terminating the wires to go into
the plug isnt a problem at all, since I do it on aircraft pretty much every
day at work. I'm hoping to go for a brand new part from the dealer. In my
past experience, brand new high quality parts are always the best bet.
