Thanks for that one Terrymetal, I did notice my temp gauge isn't working since I got it out of mothballs ... maybe it's been going on the fritz and finally pooped out , we'll find out next week or two fingers crossed .  Thanks again !

The temp sender is not read by the ECU. It has its own sensor on the bottom of the intake manifold

Rocketman, did a little hunting around intake manifold , don't feel or see any kind of wiring . What should I be looking for ?  Thinking if I hadn't seen or noticed it before , could be my issue !? Thanks !

It's the sensor sticking out of the bottom of the intake manifold here.

They are a pain to get to and usually are corroded some and hard to turn out. If you have to replace it make sure the new one has thread sealer on it or put some on it. Makes it easier to install and less prone to leaks. Good luck! Terry

Wellll , got connector off and it was pretty clean , cleaned and reassembled it .. still doing it . A question I do have is with others in the same boat , does it sputter AFTER reaching temp or all the time , could rule out sensor ?   

Also , my brake light on the dash stays on , the blue wire that comes out the bottom of fluid reservoir  I found was disconnected , the ONLY plug I found was on firewall but it has 2 different color wires coming from it , plug from fluid is blue , any ideas here ??
  Thanks again guys .

As far as I know. You would have to check the resistance of it to see if its within specs. It could go either way though from my experience.

Have you checked to be sure the cam timing is still correct? Maybe it slipped a tooth, or the crankshaft pulley is loose.
