Hi all. I apologize that this had to be my first post, but I recently bought a 2016 ST2 about a month ago. At around the 2700 mile mark, a CEL popped and took it to the dealer to have the codes read. It popped with a PO117 and PO119, both dealing with the coolant sensor and erratic coolant temps. The dealer ordered a new ECT sensor to replace the suspected faulty unit.
Anyway, on top of the CEL, I'm also having issues with the gauge pod and coolant temp gauge. This seemingly happens on cold mornings and cold starts. Every now and then, the aforementioned gauges would cease to work and the car would run like crap. Hesitation, surging, crappy MPGs, all because those gauges stopped working. It would happen all the sudden, even while moving. And turning the car off and on again would have the gauges work, but sometimes stop working again until it gets warm out.
I find it a little strange. Has anyone had any similar issues with their ST? Is the ECT sensor somehow tied to the other sensors and causing compounding issues? The car is drivable, but it's running incredibly rich, and I'm afraid I'm fouling my plugs.
I love the car, but these issues are a bit disappointing. Make me question the long term reliability of the ST.
