This is my dads truck. He is having problems with it running ritch and flooding after it gets worm. The truck will start but smoke (thick black smoke) like crazy. I think it might be the fuel pressure reg or the injectors stuck open but his nabor read the codes and told him it was the engine temp sender or sensor. I have not been over to read the codes yet as he lives far away. This problem started out of the blue. He drives it everyday and never had an issue. One day he started it up and it ran like crap and shut off. It will start but flood after the rpms drop. Any ideas???

it definitely could be that sensor because it is one of the many sensors that tells the ECU what the air fuel ratio should be and that sensor also tells it if the motor is cold and needs extra fuel similar to that of a choke, just try replace it and see if it works.

Any idea where the sensor is?
