There are 3 temp sensors on the cylinder head: KE, climate control, and the gauge. The climate control sensor is a 2-pole connection with blue tape on the wire. The KE temp sensor is one of the 1-pole sensors.
It is possible the cold start valve is out of order. The valve is a blue device on the intake manifold. Remove it and crank the engine. Hold the valve over a cup and see if any fuel comes out.

The job for testing the function of the cold start valve is very complicated and requires some special tools. I can still send it if you want. For now here are the pin assignments for the coolant temp. sensor.

i read on forums that to check this sensor, check the resistance between two connectors at different temperatures, i have the EHA table with me but whuch are the two connectors out of these four to check the resistance (Ohms)
