Unless you have a very unusual 2001, the 160 thermo will give you an SES light, temperature gauge goes dead, both fans go on high, and emissions system goes closed in abot 30 minutes or so of continuious driving. This seems to be only a 2001 problem. Much has been posted on this board about this -- a board search will give you more info.

The 160 works on the 2001. It just takes a few days to let the computer know what's happening.

I have the same problem on my 2002 sadly, the 2000 never had this issue.
