I agree w/TJ, but check to make sure there's no mud or leaves (esp. this time of year) blocking the airflow through the radiator. this stuff gets trapped between the A/C condenser & the radiator.
To check the sensor, I use an infrared thermometer & obdII scanner. compare the readings, cold & at operating temp. they should be close.

I was assuming that it was only after doing the fan belt, etc...so the same leaves would be present before too...and not be a cause.
Always good to check though....between leaves and adobe, there's always SOMETHING baking in my fins.
