you have to run your egt sensors with the SCT (for the moment at least).

X2 - Plug your 3 EGT sensors back in and tie up under the truck. The front two are the exact same, the rear one has the extra shielding on the wire.

Be gentle on them. I had to try a few things. I would try a pipe on your wrench first, then a bit of heat if the pipe did not work, and then some PB blaster over night and start again with the pipe on the wrench.

best thing to do is buy some new ones, if it has alot of miles... they are on there for good.

what is a price for them if they are screwed, also soot power called me back on teh sct he said my sct for for the old tune, ford reflashed my truck for me not knowing.

so now i have to find out which what is the number for the flash and call sct, i looked at their website but its not user friendly.

around 50-60 a sensor I think

scott2001 · May 19, 2012

ok much cheaper then i thought. sencond small one i have totaled screwed it up first a wearch, then vise grips which should be thrown in the garbage. lol
then a pipe wrech.

Can he have a set of tunes written to run without the sensors?
