hard starting - poor mileage

My 93 with a 5.0 started running rough, hesitation on acceleration, would require full throttle to start and poor mileage. KOEO scan showed code 21 (temp sensor out of limits). A quick trip to Advance Auto and $20 later with about 30 min to change the sensor completely fixed the problem. Didn’t think the temp sensor could cause so many problems. Hopes this helps someone else having the same problems.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
