I would say no, The ecu thinks the motor is cold, causing it to run cold start-up maps and have a lower ful cut.

Also...I think its fuxors with your Fan relays...fans wont turn on if they dont think the temperature is hot...watch out for that.

Re: Dissconnected Water temp sensor

Depends on the motor. On 94+ LS motors its near the thermostat. On my 91 LS motor is was near the oil pressure sensor on the other side of the block.
