So basically everything is back running good....... except now i got the CEL on....Ran it to work, and it came on....Im running 15 deg BTDC, checked the codes 26, running too rich....... how on earth can i run 15 deg BTDC and STILL run rich? at 15 deg its a WHOLE lot more peppy than at 10, at 10 its super doggy......... anyone wanna chime in? im thinking about going with a new Water Temp Sensor, see if that helps, only 21$ and if i remember correctly, when i put it back together, a coolant leak was coming from around that area..................................

Things to check: O2 sensor, AFM, TPS. You may be on the right track with the coolant temp sensor. The ECM may not know that the engine has warmed up, and therefore not going into closed loop.
