Update:
Well, I replaced the temp sensor today and fired her up. I really can't say if it worked or not. The weather here isn't as cold as it was last week. I guess what I should have done was try a before and after to get a more accurate result. I suppose I will have to hope for colder weather (they say it's supposed to rain here in the valley on turkey day).
I have thought about this alot and I don't think I really understand it. What effect does the coolant temp have on the way my engine was/is running. I would figure that there should be an external temp sensor that would tell the ECM what the ambient temp is. Any thoughts???
