The p0116 is just saying that it is almost time to replace the ECT sensor. Also a good time to replace the thermostat. Watch the temp gauge in the dash and see if it fluctuates a little when the computer cannot reat the signal from the ECT.

When the ECT sensor fails, you will suddenly run very rich because the engine temp will be read as very cold.
