I've seen others report that same problem, where the ECT-pointing code isn't solved by changing the sensor. No confirmed causes, but several things to check:

1. Be sure the fuel rail grounds are in good shape. Each is a single wire to the eye under the bolt, but just up inside the vinyl sleeving is a splice to multiple things needing grounding.

2. Make sure you used the proper sensor; that you aren't replacing one identical to the wrong one your previous owner left you. It should have a black body, not a blue one.

3. As a last resort, monitor the voltage at the ECU connector starting with a cold engine and until it reports the DTC. Look for voltage corresponding to the numbers on the right hand side of this table.
