A potentiometer inline with the temp sensor wire, is an old "trick" to fool the ecu that the engine is still cold, and give it an extra boost of fuel. It doesn't really work on a stock engine, but it does have some effect on engines with very mild mods that the ecu is not programed for. It is very old school.

So what you are saying is that you fixed the problem by removing the potentiometer and everything works fine now? I fail to see how the block temp sensor can keep the car from revving.

I soldered the broken tab back on to the potentiometer. im not sure why it affected the performance the way it did. these engine management systems are beyond me.
