alright. i changed the coolent sensor and its still doin it.. the gas milage is WICKED BAD!!! so i played around with some wires and i touched the wires on the coolent sensor plug and the car shut off.. so i put a new plug on it from another harness and thats fine now. but still getting check engine light and fans are kicking on 5 secs. after start up. I NEED IDEAS!! confused

I know when the MAf is unplugged the fans come on I'd check that wiring

Did you check the fuses?
I know a CEL will turn on the fans.
Lots of possibilities for CEL
I'll get to my FSM asap (daughter has BBall tryouts tonight sorry)

Yeah, if they are made like the TBI ones it sometimes takes 2-3 before you get a good one.

No. That is for the guage only. I would also look at the EGR solenoid. The reason you are getting bad gas mileage is that the system is staying in open loop, which is causing the pcm to command too much fuel since in open loop, the pcm does not adjust fuel based on o2 sensor info. MAF is another place to look.
