I agree that temp sensor 2 is suspect.  My own experience is not that it
failed.  I cleaned the connector (all of them actually) and replaced all the
ground connection lugs with new as well as cleaning the attachment point for
same using a dremmel tool with wire wheel.

I haven't had a problem since and my mileage went up 50%.  No lie.  It was
pretty bad, like 13-15 mpg.  1985 Vanagon.
