Shain, You may simply want to make sure the connector and contacts are not corroded. I have found that corroded contacts, poor grounds, etc. account for about 80-90% of my little problems. You say it idles perfectly until it gets "really warmed"? The thermistor should change states around 15C (about 69 degrees F) that will happen fairly rapidly in the coolant system. It may not be your problem. You could simply check it with an OHM meter while cold and again while warm. That should tell you, before you go buy a part you don't need. Good Luck.
