I have two problems that are not related. I've gotten them mostly figured out by lurking around here and other various places, but I was hoping to get the last few answers that I haven't been able to find. 2002 EB
1: My AC only kicks on when I set my EATC to 60f, and vice versa the heater is on full blast at anything above 60f. Tonight I found the locations in the harness that are supposed to go from the back of the EATC head to the inside temperature sensor, and according to the chart I found online - it is reading at under 50f when the ambient temperature is around 70f. So, can anybody point me to where the actual sensor itself is, how best to get to it, and what I need to order to replace it? I see the inlet behind the slots in the dash, but my understanding is that the sensor itself is actually up inside somewhere, not right there at the slots.
2: Several months ago I got a check engine light with the error code that said the pressure in my evap system was too high. I cleared it, and it came back. After a second clear it has not returned. However, my fuel gauge (Which has never been too accurate) is now way way under reporting. At full it reports a little less than half a tank, and after half a tank it rests pretty close to E. Also, the "Miles to Empty" reading overhead starts reporting 50 miles left after about half a tank, and drops as we drive, until it realizes there's more than it thought, and jumps back up to around 40 or 50 again. My understanding of this one is that the sensors that control both of these situations (fuel pump and evap pressure) are in the fuel pump assembly itself, and replacing the fuel pump could knock out these two birds with one stone. Correct?
I'd appreciate any insights.
