Have you seen a check engine light? How old or functioning is the EGR valve? The valve staying stuck open will cause the condition you are explaining. The engine runs smooth after and the exhaust is nornal, correct? The valve being open is the same as a huge vacuum leak. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

THe temp sensor will cause this same issue.

If you have acces to a engine computer I would sugggest checking the temp sensor to see what the computer sees. WHen the sensor or connection goes bad it will telll your computer that the engine temp is neg 140 degere celcius.

Also if there is a loose ground on the harnes it could also create this issue. THere is a 'gang' of grounds on the t-stat housing stud. Check them, clean them.
