I'm not sure if I have a wiring diagram and sensor location for that car but I'll take a look.
What colour wire goes to the third terminal of that 3 pin (2 connector) sensor? I can see green but not the stripe if there is one.
Hi Rick76 !

The single pin connector has a (just)green wire.
As for the 2 pin one from the 3 pin sensor,i have to go to the car and take some pictures.

By connecting it to that brown wire which is probably a ground, the computer thinks the engine is very hot thus your poor starts
That's true,the car starts very hard when the green/red wire is connected on the brown one.
When i disconect it from that wire,the car starts right away but runs like hell,white smoke and the engine seems to run on 3 cylinders.

Thanks !
