Yesterday I was driving as normal when I hit a Huge pothole that was covered with snow. My Kota is dropped 4 inches, so It bottomed up pretty bad on the cross beam. Soon after, my Dummy engine light popped on. I ran the *key Dignostics* and came up with code *1-2-2-2-5-5*, which is a CTS (coolent temeprature sensor). I also noticed that my Idle was very eratic, between 500rpms-1200-rpms. I went to the local Auto parts store and Got the new sensor and installed it last night. It ran fine. Everything was just peachy. I woke up this morning as usuall, got into my truck, and it turned over, but didn't start. I unhooked the Negative cable for 10 minutes, to reset the PCM, but it still didn't help. As far as I can tell, It is getting gas. And by spraying starter fluid into the TB, I know it still has a spark. Any suggestions?
it's a 93 3.9 Automatic.

There is a relay box under the hood with several relays. My truck wouldn't start and a buddy of mine swapped some relays around and said abbra-cadabbra.....and it's been O.K. every since. I wish I'd paid closer attention to what he did. He's off to slap the terrorist around now. Maybe somebody else knows more.

Think i solved it. It's about -10 degrees where I live right now, and when I pulled my truck in the nice warm garage last night condensation must have built up on the inner walls of the gas tank, and being that there wasn't much gas in the tank, the water slowly sank to the bottom of the tank overnight after I had already fixed the other problem, so when I woke up, it was just sucking water. I found this out when i took a look in the TB and saw bubbles...
no wonder...
thanks
