thanks man but i already changed it, i found a little opening after removing the power steering and the support bar under the manifold. but i still have the error code 21 and 52 and my pyrometer is going up to 1100%f and i know that this is too high as it would stay about 8 prior to this problem, i am running too lean or something will change the fuel filter tomorrow to see if i am being starved of gas

ok i changed the fuel filter, now the car revs pass 2500rpm but it still has the error 52 and 21 and its still running very hot, i wonder if i should try changing the fuel pump since we tried starting it a few times while there was no gas in the tank.
or is there some special way to clear the error code in the ecu

i have the batt disconected, but i did this before, and it came back and i doubt that would cause the ex, gas temp to go that high, what u think about the pump? do they go bad but still work, just lower pressure?

If the error comes back after a reset, then the cause is still there.

You might have sucked all sorts of junk from the bottom of the tank by running it empty. The pump filter should stop most, but is there any chance that the pump filter is blocked?

i took it apart and clean the pump filter and put it back and the same thing,i am starting to think the knock sensor i put in could also be bad, thus throwing the 52 code,but if the ecu detect knocking or not getting the signal from the sensor it would retard the timing, but would that make the motor run hot?or cooler? and whats the chance my emanage blue needing to be re tuned after 6 weeks of no ignition,
