    If you have a scan tool. Look and see what the scan tool says the temp is under live data.
    Maybe it want the sensor, and it was the wires too the sensor.

    We can test that. But let’s see what live data says first.
    Cold engine. The temp should read close to outside air temp.

    similar issue, following ....
    i have no codes but after warms up will idle down to 500-600 (slight vibration/annoying)
    have replaced: maf, temp sens, both o2 sensors, adjusted throttle cables

    it will idle back up if i turn the wheel or turn on ac but then idles back down..
    2.4 185k, new to me truck I'm fine replacing what ive done so far cause it seemed to have little to no regular Maintenace.. beyond this point im just throwing $ at ?? since no codes

    PBwithJ... pull the intake tube off and look in the throttle body and see if it is gunked up, if so, clean it.
