ok i have a 89 240sx and i recently put it a s14 sr20det zenki motor. I did switch out the coolant temp sensor by the throttle body. I'm assuming it's the engine sensor. But my need is pegged all the way below C*, it never goes up. Maybe stuck thermostat or air bubbles in the system? Does anyone have any insight?

also when i drive my car for like 15 minutes to get it to operating temp. It idles fine at startup but after 15 minutes of spirited driving it idles like shit. So i know the cts has got to be the problem.
