Check the connection on the sensor ..... single terminal sensor right at the back of the engine - blue wire (the other sensor 'talks' to the engine  ;)) it might just need crimping a little with pliers to tighten the connector

If it works when the engine is working hard its more likely to be a stuck open thermostat :y

Could be the movement of the engine making a better contact ......  8)  8) ;)

It's like a drawing pin head .... round & flat  ;)

It's the sensor with nothing connected to it. The wire that goes to it is the blue wire in the black sleeve lurking in the back ground
