OK Wayne, suck at electrics or not your the only one to offer, buddy.
What I need to know is ---
The colour of BOTH the wires from the water temperature sensor (THW SENSOR) located to the rear of the block on a prodo 2L-TE under the intake manifold behind vsv's.
IT is classed as hidden sensor 1 of 5 on the 2L-TE. Is a PITA to get to on the motor with out some sort of tear down.
Once I know the colour of the leads plugging into this sensor I can locate them at the ECU. ( 10 minute job) Then I can test it to see if it is screwed.
It is about the only sensor on this truck I can not get to to test. ANd is probably the bad one.
The other thing that would help is a labelled pinout diagram of the ECU for this truck.(LJ 78) It will show where the THW sensor plugs in.
If I had that I wouldn't need the wire colours
I just happen to have the number 175800-1070-12Volt.
Any help here would be appreciated.

OK
Results -- Fixed my cold start issue. dial in high resistance for first start of day.. tells the ECU to fuel more and away I go. As It warms up dial out the extra resistance.
As long as there is continuity in the sensor this can be applied.
If the sensor is open this will not work.
Thanks to all that gave me some badly needed help.
This has been a persistant problem for me since last winter.
Tried a lot of things..Tested just about every testable sensor on the truck & the best thing of all Learned so much along the way.
Regards
