It'll crank & crank and won't start.. It has a code 22 (coolant temp
sensor). Sensor & plug have been replaced. Still nothing. If you
disconnect the collant temp sensor plug it'll start for 3-5 seconds and
run at about 2400 rpm, then die out.  Computer has also been replaced.

Any ideas???

Thanks

Since it would run for 3-5 seconds after disconnecting the temp senor
plug,  that fuel pressure wasn't the problem. I'll have to see what it
is..

All you are doing there is richening the mixture when it is disconnected,
that tell you anything?

It's the only way the engine will run . Also, when you disconnect the
coolant temp sensor, the cooling  fan should come on and it  doesn't
though the fan motors are fine.
