Same sensor just different terminal. Terminal B DRK GRN/ORN to the ECM and terminal C DRK GRN/WHT to dash. Yours is a '90 I guess?

Thanks for the information
Was just wondering if 1991 is any different since you mentioned 1990?

The Oil Temperature Sensor Terminal B or circuit B discontinuity would prevent Full Power operation it would appear.

"When the key is in “Full” power position, the ECM enables the secondary operation only if no trouble codes are stored and other criteria are met such as; engine oil temperature (not too hot or too cold)."



See ECM Code #52 ZR1 ECM CODES 1990 TO 1992
