The sensor was actually the first thing I replaced. It seems I got a bad one right off the shelf. Kinda ticks me off, that damn thing caused me much aggravation. And about $50 in thermostats. lol The intake gaskets needed to be done anyway, I was just hoping they'd find something while they were in there.
Well, the car was actually reaching normal temp, the sensor was just inaccurate. That said, I do notice a little more power now that the sensor is reading correctly, and my mileage has gone up almost 2 mpg.
