Sounds like you replace the temperature sending unit(for the gauge on dash) what you need to replace is the Temperature sensor for the computer (ECM)

hi john , sure sounds like you may have unplugged the coolant temp sensor or didn't get a good connection at the sensor , location , in between two exhaust ports on the side of the engine that has the oil fill and pcv .

SOURCE: 1994 Chevy Cavalier runs rough with a bunch of codes

24 is speed sensor. Has no bering on a stationary car.
15 is the coolant sensor circuit. (which you already replaced)
66 is AC refridgerant.
19.... i have no idea.
From what you have described, i would almost have to say it's the idle control sensor, or intake manifold vacuum leaks. Make sur everything is tight, and wiggle all the hoses around to make sure none are cracked or loose. Use a length of fuel hose held to your ear, or a stethoscope if you have one, and listen and wiggle hoses with the engine running. If there are no leaks, go for the idle control sensor. If that doesn't do it, it'll be the mass air flow sensor. But usually when they act up, the car will start and die, start and die. Good luck.

I have a 1999 Ford f350 V10 with a po118 code

P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Circuit High Input Indicates the sensor signal is greater than Self-Test maximum. The ECT sensor maximum is 4.6 volts or -50°C (-46 °F). Note on some vehicles that are not equipped with an ECT sensor, CHT can be used and can set this DTC.
  • Open circuit in harness
  • Sensor signal short to power
  • Damaged PCM
  • Improper harness connection
  • Damaged sensor
  • Using signal simulation, disconnect sensor and simulate 1.0V on sensor signal circuit. Simulated 1.0V signal and scan PID voltage value should be similar. If voltage is similar check sensor, if voltage is not similar check related circuit and PCM

2005 Chevy Cavalier. Where is the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor located please?

Edited to tidy up the English, and the code is P-Zero, not P-Oh.

If your PCM is returning a P0113 error code, it means that your Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is reading at too high of a voltage. This sensor works as a basic resistor. The PCM sends it a continuous current of five volts, and monitors how much voltage it gets back.

1998 cavalier wont clear PO118 code -- PCM issue? I have a 1998 cavalier 2.2l base model... here is what i have done this far -replaced ECT sensor -checked voltage at ECT harness (none) -tried...

If it were me I guess I would probe wires behind the connector, because the connectors can go bad , so probe behind connector and see if you get same readings
