Volvo 960 cooling woes 900 1996

Since replacing the coolant temperature sender the 960 has been working perfectly! My only guess is that the bad temperature sender really messed up the fuel/air mixture and fouled the plugs and gunked up the whole system and was causing the smoke. We drove the car for a number of hours under different driving conditions on Christmas without the slightest hiccup or out of the ordinary puff of smoke. I still suspect that the temperature gauge is bad and won't display readings above 1/2. I'll have to do a little more testing to verify that.

Thanks for all your advice in this board, it's been a GREAT help.
