Help please! romps & code after work

Ran the engine after installing a regulated return + bowl delete, it romps and shuts down. Code is P0198 Engine Oil temp sensor high.

I had the sensor disconnected while doing the work and nothing appears amiss with the connector or wire.

Found a thread by franko72 where he was driving with this code, no mention of romps.

Are the romps and this code associated?

Is there something else I may have dislodged that would cause the romps/dying but not throw a code?

Ran the pump at least 15 times before starting so I don't think there is air in the lines.

Took a break and came to work. Thanks in advance.

Probably just some air still in the system?
Got a fuel pressure gauge on it?
Check your hpop oil reservoir and make sure its (almost) full.

My motorbug will romp for about 6 seconds after first starting her up after not being run for a few days. I think im having a compound set of issues tho. Weak tired old hpop and injectors (200 miles shy of the big 400k) and fuel pressure/air in system issues...

Im sure there are other things to check but i dont know what they are yet...

Truck doesn't normally romp, will check hpop res though. Fuel pressure purged a ten times then set with regulator to 65 psi, then purged at least five more times.

Notes to self:

--don't work on truck in early morning before coffee
--turn off ignition after finishing up with AE

Driving home for lunch thinking through it realized I had not plugged in the connector on the HPOP res facing the valley. Plugged that in but had left ignition on so now got in on the charger...

Engine Oil Temp Sensor.

High temps on the oil will cause the PCM to change the tuning to cool the engine down. (defuel)
