sounds like you either switched the water temp plug with the fuel temp or air temp. you are not the first person that happened to.

yep. 100% you switched them. Need to remove UIM again. One is plug that goes to fuel rail (btw, check fuel temp on PFC ) and another plug goes to filler neck. They both green same connectors

the car won't overheat if you switch those as long as everything is working... it will just deliver the incorrect amount of fuel (too rich b/c it thinks the engine is cold)
