Of course, need to be careful and not let it get too hot.

Check the connection at the temp sensor for the gauge...... It's the single wire connector. Also, make sure the sender has good contact with the manifold. (that's how it grounds)

Go back over everything. Make sure all connections are clean and tight. Wonder if the sudden crappy running coincides with the PCM commanding egr open.......
