wow intermittants are tough to find , the only way ive ever been sucessfull at it is to temp bypass each sensor (lie to controller) to see if it continues to run ,I do not recomend leaving any thing bypassed and not physicaly monitoring it , this temp bypassing is for only the most experienced techs that know normal state of sensors and can simultate them with off machine items
