Default Rough idle answer

Several weeks ago I posted a problem with my idle and start ups. To recap, cold starts were very very low rpm almost to the point of stall. Warm start ups were difficult, motor would turn but would take several key cycles to actually start. In between I had my 60K service, 996 oil check valves installed, updated boost hoses, and a new clutch and LWFW installed. After getting car back and driving 50 miles or so a CEL came on. The verdict.... bad head temp sensor in #3 cylinder. This is a $120 part but getting to #3 cylinder, lots of labor. Cost was the bad news, good news is she runs great. Hope this post is of some insight for those that have had or will have this problem. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all of your great posts I enjoy reading!
