Did they prove that it was the temp sensor, or is it a guess?  Could be leaking injectors etc as well....

You should never start the car with throttle applied! Dip the clutch if its a manual but no touching the gas pedal.

Could be a fuel injector thats your problem?

Try starting without any throttle see what happens, if it does not start wait a while, then crank with the throttle fully applied, and keep it fully applied while cranking for up to 5-8 seconds, if it starts then you got a dud injector
