Problem seems to be solved, its been several hundred miles (500+) and a few weeks now with no check engine light. For all I can tell it seems to have taken care of itself, with the only thing being changed is that I unplugged the ECT sensor from the harness and twisted the exposed wires a few times before reconnecting. I did this thinking there could be some sort of possible external interference (similar to what happens with UTP cat 5 cable) when the wires run parallel and exposed.

The new temp sensor was an FAE brand (made in Spain), and the electricial resistance (Ohm) vs. temp checked out according to spec.

Thanks again for the suggestions and tips.
