Temp sensor as that tells the car how hot or cold the car is and sorts the fueling out

yep ordered temp sensor, will keep this updated, i can not put it on comp because it will not respond, i think its the old aftermarket head unit thing where i take it out to read the codes! im lazy so ill keep buying parts for now, i have almost a spare car by here  :laugh:
