Because they are in the same area, I would replace the temp sensor and the thermostat. Make sure they are OEM and not some knock off.
Remember to drain about a quart of antifreeze from the bottom of the engine block, you don't want antifreeze pouring all over your alternator.
Those T40 screws that hold down the thermostat housing are a real pain. If they are "new" from the last time, fine, but if they are original to the car, buy 2 new ones. You will probably mess one of them up.

Your story of stumbling is correct, because when the ECT thinks the engine temp is low, more fuel gets injected into the cylinders and missing will occure.
