hey dude.... one thing i would check and its not totally related to the issues you have had... is the co settings now u have changed the cam.
an dblue temp sensors always get them from main dealer.... well i do as gsf ones alway seem to go fookin wrong! and yes u can start the engine without temp sensor plugged in but the cold start wont cut in so u will have to rev it to keep it running...
