Yes I bought an s13 KA one from the same year 240 I have, when the temp did eventually rise it was where it was supposed to be not high or have a weird reading. However I tried to bleed the system, got air bubbles to come out and drove to my friends house fine, parked it for 3 hours, then started it let it idle for 2 mins, then drove for around 10-15 mins and it still wasn't completely heated up not too sure what that's about now, hopefully it's not the thermostat just changed that last year too.
Thank you for clearing that up I thought the whole thing was just called the IACV. Well yes I did remove the whole thing and cleaned the spring part as best as I could with carb cleaner last year. I know after I cleaned it though it still didn't look the cleanest and I'd pull it off again but it was a huge pain in the ass even with the manifold off the engine. I've heard of people removing the screen and spraying in there maybe I'll try that and see.
EDIT: Just thinking now though even if the IACV or AAC is stuck and causing the idle to be higher will that affect my AF ratio?? When I was driving earlier for a little bit cruising and idle was actually a bit better at around 13.6-13.8 instead of being super rich at like 11-12. That's why it seems like the coolant temp sensor because wouldn't it thinking it's cold actually make it idle higher and dump more fuel to try and warm it up?
