Need Help With Temp Gauge Issue
When I was changing my spark plugs I broke the ECT sensor on my car. I got the SES light and replaced the sensor the next day. About 2 weeks later the gauge started to die intermittently and the car ran really rich and rough when it wasn't working. So I replaced the sensor again and it fixed the problem for about 3 days. Now the gauge is just dead and I have the SES light back on. I checked the wires and connections, they are all good. I even swapped my PCM out with a new one to see if that was the issue. Nothing changed. Is it a wiring issue? I am at a total loss.
Thanks for your help guys.

It is the stock gauge. I know the stocker is a dummy gauge, but it is making my car run rough and I am a little afraid to drive it till I get this issue fixed.
