Were codes pulled with the engine up to temperature?

You can check voltage at each sensor to see if it corresponds to roughly the correct temperature. Here's a chart with temp and voltage values

whats wierd is i can warm up the car all day if i wanted to and it will only go to the dash right above 130 and stay there untill i rev about 2k rpm and it will go up just a little bit.

The stock gauge is not accurate enough to determine operating temps.
