Anyways I'm really starting to beleive the ecu could be 1 of the culprits for high temps...
That really sounds like either a glitch or a sensor re-calibration issue.

That said, it does raise the question of how accurate the OEM temp sensor is...

I guess if anyone is feeling adventurous, they could install a secondary temp probe to compare and contrast...
