No in my tuning software. Its always read correctly, however I cannot start my car now and keep it running. And I noticed my logs say -77F for coolant temps.

Any ideas? Would anything else cause this?

Faulty sensor. Sensor is grounded out. The ecu sends out a 5v reference. Then sensor is nothing more than a variable ohm. Unplug the sensor. One wire will read 5v the other should have a good ground. If that checks out then ohm the sensor. If its infinte ohms sensor is at fault.
