Most likely it's just the coolant sensor or wiring to it. Pay special attention to the connector. Unless it has been upgraded to the 2 plug design, the old design gives loads of trouble at this connector. It's somewhere near the thermostat housing. At the parts store, ask for the coolant sensor. Specify that you want the one that works with the computer system. Good luck!
