    Only reiterated it as we ALL have done it, at some time, and it is an easy thing to miss.

      I set the multimeter to 200k and got this.

      ECT= 16.3 cold -3.2 hot
      ACT= 16.3 cold- 5.0 hot

      temperature was like 75-80 outside. Act seems to be reading high I think, but the ECT looks fine. I got the new sensors yesterday so I'll put them in when I've got the chance. I'll let you guys know if the symptoms change.

        That looks about right.

          they agree when cold, and I would expect the water to be hotter than the air with the motor warmed up. Looks like the water is about 180 and the air is around 160. Both of those numbers I can believe. Just remember, the air sensor is in the lower manifold, next to the head, and its passing through that EGR spacer that in stock form has hot coolant running through it. The air definitely warms a fair bit by the time it hits that sensor.
