p0117 after restoring coolant system
Hey guys I have been trying to restore my c32 that I picked up that needed work desperately. I just got done replace all radiator hoses, code 3 thermostat, crank pulley with asp pulley, lm21 belt wrap. After I put together everything, the car keeps pulsing at idle. Almost like a misfire. I keep getting a p0117 engine coolant temp circuit low.
Maybe i just need to keep the car running until it reaches operating temp?? I also left off the bumper so ambient temp sensor is unplugged, though that shouldn't make a difference. Also my battery did die a fee weeks back while ibwas working on it but I trickle charged a week and a half ago and it was still fine to start the car today.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

What is the Engine Coolant Temperature when you get this code? I get P0118 sometime in the winter with a modified T-stat but P0117 is an indication of overheating. Make sure that all the wires are connected and that there are no leaks. Sometimes a T-stat gasket if not installed right, can cause a problem.
