Ready to give up on my 240 :( 200 1987

Yeah, I'm afraid my rebuilt air meter is not a Bosch. It has 'fuel injection technologies' or something on the top cover. About the thermostatic air cleaner, it is disconnected. So the incoming air is always cold. It has been that way since I've owned the car. The ambient temp in Houston is always pretty high, so I figured I was okay with it disabled.

It looks like the general consenus is with the harness. I have a hard time believing mine is faulty, but I suppose thats where I should start. Where should I get a harness? I really hate to resort to searching the bone-yards. And FCPgroton sells new ones for $320? Perhaps I'll inspect my harness really well, cut it open in a few spots and look.

Should I replace the coolant temp sensor in the center of the block? Could this sensor cause any of these conditions?

Thanks,
Jack
