FOUND A NEW PROBLEM.....what are the functions?
I was doing routine maintenence today and noticed that the green thermosensor on the back of the waterpump was unplugged!!!!!! Probably had been since the rebuild. What is the function of this sensor and what are the effects of not having it hooked up and what systems does it effect..I hope the car runs better and starts better with it hooked up. Let me know.

That is the Waterthermo sensor. It controls some of the mixture/warmup functions of the ECU. Yes, it will affect your idle. Yes, it will change your MPG.
Your ECU defaulted to a 60 degree water temp setting (IIRC).
And for once, Santiago is right.
