po128 is engine will not reach operating temperature, which could have been the t-stat or the coolant temp sensor

Right, Wiz. Could have been either the Temperature Sensor or the Thermostat. I replaced the Temperature sensor, but it still didn't work. It only worked when they cleared the error code.

But I wonder if it would have worked if I just replaced the Thermostat.

Eh, as long as it works...I'm happy. After all...mine was acting like this for the past year and a half. And it wasn't till I joined this board and got help from you guys to know what to replace.

Nope, now that the temp gauge started working again, my tach went dim. It seemed like when the temp gauge wasn't working the light on the tach WAS working. Doesn't bother me though. I'd prefer to have the temp gauge working.
