ive read up on it and says coolant temp sensor and others say rarely the computer goes bad. i took to smog shop they said they got a code that doesnt exist sooo i think the smog shop is stupid and i need some input. i can start the car up and for almost 5 minutes no SES light but then the fans go on and the light comes on at same time. the top end was recently rebuilt because the head gaskets got blown. ive replace coolant level sensor ive gotten it smogged but no cert because of engine light i put new coolant new oil and filter and replace all fuses and everything works fine but cant figure out this headache. should i grab a CTS from junk yard across st and try that first?

The fans come on when the SES light comes on, regardless of the problem. Find another shop and have the codes pulled and post the code number here.

so i shouldnt go throw 20 bucks at it for the sensor to see if it works is what your saying?

okay so i called the shop and they said that its the trouble code 62-oil temperature sensor problem. the smog shop says this vehile doesnot have a oil temperature sensor and this computer system does not support code 62

That's right. Code 62 is not applicable to your car. If there is a code, it must be something else.

if vehicle is/was chipped would that mess up the computer. they are saying i need to buy a new one and there almost positive thats the case. im short on funds is the reason im really here i guess.

also the low oil light illuminates some times and sometimes it doesnt would that have anything to do with throwing codes? im assuming its the oil level sensor on the bottom of the oil pan???

These computers don't get "chipped". They are flash programmed. I have read another of your posts and and it sounds like you may be getting jacked around. You need to see what computer is in your car (there is a service number on it). Corvette tunes might have had an oil temp function, but not sure (f-body cars don't). If it has the right computer, but maybe wrong tune, that might cause some confusion.

The low oil light is not connected to the computer.
