Anyone have a xcal I can use?

I'd like to see how these things work and I'd really appreciate it if someone could do a log of my car with one.
I'm having an issue that just doesn't make any sense.
Going down the road I can't get over 130ish degrees. Even on the few days we had that where in the 70's I still only got maybe 135 down the road.
Now assuming everything is working as it should I'm trying to figure out why my idle changes at 140 degrees. At that point it'll fluctuate and occasionally die, or did. (pulled my injectors today and "flushed" them hack way but it seemed to help) But I still don't warm up and I think I know why, but Tom is saying it's not possible. I disagree being this is the second car of mine that has run that cold down the road. I'm not looking to prove him wrong, I just want my own justification.
The only thing that has been change in the cooling system is I'm now using a SVT water temp sensor instead of the zetec's cylinder head temp sensor. Far as I've tested the resistances are identical, so I'd assume my gauge is correct as is the digital ODO gauge.
