I'd get the temp guage fixed first.(sender unit?) not sure if on your has seperate temp sender units, one for theguage and one for ecu readings but it possible your ECU (computer) isnt being told the correct engine temp and is getting "confused" with that reading and all the others its getting so is either defulting or trying to compensate making it run like that. maybe!?
