Water Thermoswitch?

Water Thermoswitch?
Will an FD run worth a **** with the thermoswitch, that tells the ECU the water temp, being broke? Because I broke mine yesterday trying to get the damn connector off and the whole switch broke in half....so I have no idea what my water temps are outside of the stock coolant gauge. I tried to drive it around my neighberhood block and it ran like complete ****.....could it be the switch putting my car is some sort of limp more, or do I have some problems with my fuel and spark?
I have a brand new motor, new single turbo, Power FC, 756/1680 injectors, A1000 FP, FMIC, DP, MP, Cat Back, HKS Twin Power, etc....I just wanted to make my car move on it's own power and it ran for ****. Just curious...I ordered a new thermoswitch which should be here Friday, but if you know, let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

No it's not Turbo'd
A lot of the ECU's maps depend on the correct temp to figure out weathe the car is warm or cold, you could be running the "Acrtic Weather" map and running way too rich...

It was the Green connector that reads the water temp for the ECU. My water temp reads ----. I have not checked the voltage though. I knew that the green connector was not in the best shape, the wires did not stay inside the connector properly...they were kind of loose. So when the readings were ---- I knew there was a problem there. My FPR is right above that area connected to my UIM, and the bottom return hose was pressing on the wires so I figured that was it. I tried to disconnect the green connector from the thermothingy, and it broke in half very easily...so it may have been broke but not completely...but it is now.
My Black connector below is also messed up....the thermothingy is still fine, but the black wire had to be fixed. I really need a new wiring harness....but they are kind of expensive, so for now, mine will have to do.
We'll see on Friday what happens.

ps So I assume the PCAI is still working fine?
