    I threw a chek engine light last night after looking around the engine bay i found what looking to be a pig tail for aa sensor just hanning down on the driver side of the bay. underneath the break master cylinder. the pig tail is blue and is clipped into the the cradle with only about 2 inches of play. i looked around and cant find any where fot it to go...Any ideas ...my thoughts as of now are is it pluged into some kind of extension that went to the exhaust for an o2 sensor...any help would b great ...thanx

    or evene a wire schematic would help.

    What code came up when you had the Check Engine Light scanned?

    In that area, that could be a two wire connector for power steering input, the brake fluid level sensor on the side of the master cylinder or something else. A picture would help tremendously.

    As for your remote start not working. Maybe the wire leading to the ICM for rpm input is unhooked.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
