I doubt it. However, it is worth a try if you are not able to replace it at this point.

Replaced battery, car turned on no check engine light. Works great, shifts great. Just need to replace the radiator. Still might be an ECU problem. Replaced the air filter, gas cap and upper brake light bulbs. Approximate delivery of radiator is next Tuesday (March 3 2020). Going to replace the thermostat and gasket then.

Installed radiator. Red antifreeze. Distilled water. Took a while to fill it up. New rad cap. New hoses. It's no longer overheating. Check engine light at 2,000. Need to adjust the TPS again. Doing it manually is a pain. Risk sending car into limp mode. Anyone have any tips?
