P0420 after spouting radiator
2001 Lexus LS430.
This weekend, I thought I'd take a nice trip out of the city to Beacon in much need of country.
All of a sudden my car overheats, so I pull over at a gas station, pull up the hood, and notice that coolant is spouting out of the seams. I cab to Yonkers, pick up a new radiator, cab back, spend 8 hours assembling the damn thing, and get going.
The car starts but I get a CEL and VSC Off. P0115. I check the hoses and notice that the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor burnt off. Drive home with a burnt ECT. During the week while moving my car for alternate side parking I'm having a really hard time starting - the car is barely starting. Yesterday I put a new ECT on and it starts up like a treat, yet the VSC off and CEL are still on, as is the code. What gives?
