coolant temp sensor 200 1990

Absolutely. That sensor tends to fail rich. In an extreme case, it will turn on the fifth (cold start) fuel injector and flood the car out completely.

I drove a '91 for 300k miles and had to replace that sensor twice in that time. The first one failed the week I bought the car new and was replaced on warranty. The first time it flooded the car out, and I was able to drive to the dealer by unplugging the fifth fuel injector. The second time it just caused a warm restart stall which I puzzled over for years until I happened to replace the sensor while doing a head gasket and the problem went away.
