I thought this too, but when fixing a thermostat housing leak, I removed the
temp II sensor and put it in boiling water and room temp water and measured
the resistance at both.  Contacts were clean on the old one during the test.
It was out of the curve range shown in the Bently manual.  I bought a new
one, installed it, and, low and behold, the vehicle ran much better.
