Those with water thermosensor failure, what were your symptoms?
I have no stored codes and drivability is fine, idle is fine, on cold idle around 1200-1500rpm sometimes it'll "blurp" now and again every few seconds, but it's very minimal
Getting very crappy mileage (makes it basically undrivable socially), topend power is lacking (even though boost pattern is correct) and car's only mods are intake/downpipe, new plugs/wires/o2 sensor, will throw black fuel ridden smoke wot 5000+
water thermosensor something to look at still? fpr? etc?

could be especially if it gets worse when the car is warm. the smoke above 5,000 would prob be an ignition issue, weak coil worn out plug bad wire etc... ignition system is a good candidate

I Have The Same Symptoms And All Of My Thermo-sensors Check Out Fine. I Even Took It To Pettit And They Could Not Find The Prob. We Did Narrow It Down To Fuel Though, It Comes Outta The Hole Pretty Stout But Falls On Its Face. But, The Boost Pattern Is Beautiful With No Leaks Etc... Cam Recommended Repalcing The Wiring Harness, Did, Nothing. Now He Recommends Replacing The Injecotrs, Have Them At Home And Waiting For Time To Install Them... I Have Replaced All Sensors, Coils, Plugs Numerous Times, New Magncores 3 Times, Ignition Amp, Ecu's , Wiring Harness, Vaccum Lines, Aws, Everything Electric And Still Have Not Found The Prob. Praying For The Injectors To Do The Trick. While Down At Pettit We Were Able To Troubleshoot The Car On The Dyno With The Wolf 3d Computer. With The Wolf 3d Cam Pulled The Fuel Back And The Car Ran Like Gangbusters. So, If The Injectors Do Not Do The Trick Im Just Going To Call Cam At Pettit And Order The Wolf 3d With That Map Setup Because I Have Been Troubleshooting This Thing Since Last Summer. I Have Spent As Much On The Troubleshooting As I Did On Having The Motor Built At Pineapple Racing....
