Well, that's it. I finally got the right temperature sensor, and put it in today, hoping it would cure my running to rich after warm up problem, and...nothing. Ran like a charm the first 15 minutes, but as soon as the temp gauge hit 12:00 o'clock,it last power, started blowing black smoke. Plugs are new, catalytic converter is new, nothing seems to help. Everyone said it would be that sensor. It goes to the mechanic tomorrow night. I'll let the list know what it turns out to be.
