Default coolant temperature sensor resistance.

At 176 degrees im reading 1140 ohms. Would that be the reason for my rough idle in the am?? Its my understanding that at that temperature it should be at minimum 1170. Thanks in advance

You have another thread going on the rough idle, the advice was good. Check your IAC, clean it and see if that helps.

Oh buddy am i all sorts of angry now. I have KNOWN my first cylinder has had low compression. It just didn't make sense how it drastically changed overnight. Well now that i spent 3 hours at work preparing to pull the head, i suppose ill continue and fix my compression as well! Thanks guys. I appreciate the constructive critisim lol
