The blend door might be worth looking at too.

Thanks for the information. I've really dug into the 96-99 auto unlocking feature and have found some interesting information i think would be helpful for anyone in the future. 96,97,98-99 have different defaults. Changing these settings can be found in the owners manual of correct year.


1996 ...

The doors will lock when put into gear and they don't unlock until the key is off. I was thinking the doors should unlock when the shifter returns to park? Did this update not come until later? Anyway to change when the doors unlock?

Any idea where the car is now?

Replace IAC sensor or MAF. If i had to guess it's going to be the Idle air control

Here are the two coolant sensors on a L27 block. The black two wire one is for computer and the white one wire one is for the gauge.

I have no clue what kind of locking mechanism is on your trunk lid, but it might just be easier to find ...

I like to keep my engine clean too! Here is my 94

Trunk release should be in glove box right? I think it was actually an option to have a trunk release button on an SE of that year which is foolish. I think it's very possible to add a trunk release tho.

I saw that white 1992 ssei for sale somewhere online I believe. Ebay?

200k on spark plugs?? no way lol. I just haven't changed the wires for the spark plugs to the coil packs because they go bad/get corroded. However, I did run a set of spark plugs for 100k miles or so and they really didn't look too bad.

Still going strong at 220k. (not far off your 232k)

I'm thinking that part is for something inside the door panels? Not really sure.

Your 94 SE came with the option of having a key fob? or did they put the modules in all of the models?
