I'm getting P.Oed at this cause I can't even drive 10 mi without it leaving me stranded on the side of the road . Anyone Please help me The only code I keep getting is 22 which is coolant sensor voltage too low or too high

go to the source of the code. test the sensor, then follow the wires to see if you have a short in the circuit. the temp sensor can make you run too rich or lean, and make hard starts.

Suggested Repair

Test the coolant temperature sensor and trace its wiring for a short or other circuit fault. A bad sensor or circuit can cause a rich or lean mixture and hard restarts.
