TEMP sensor error/ problem

I have a 2000 F350 7.3L Turbo, w/ SRW. I was having trouble starting my truck. The mechanic was puzzled because his diagnostics said the engine temp was -200 degrees. He ended up replacing two injectors #3 & #8. The dash gauge temp sensor has not worked since.

I bought a SCT chip so I could monitor the engine temp, and it starts out reding -200. I initially did not believe him but I see it for myself!

Is this a ECM/PCM problem or what? HELP!

When it's -200 degrees, you need to use 0w0 oil and the block heater.......(sorry - couldn't resist).
