No only the one for the pcm will, did you clean you egr valve when you did a tune up? You could have plugged up coolant passeges by the sensor.

Well I was looking into it more and the gauge might just be off. I opened the throttle body plate and it was pretty wet in there. I think I have a leaky injector or it could be the coolant temp sensor, the only reason i dont think it is is because i dont have a check engine light or code. but i was reading and it said it doesnt always throw a code
