dont do it if the car is hot doesnt matter what time its been running for as th ecu selfcalibrates to the new sender
and if it playes up just disconnect your battery overnight
instant cure in the morning

bad idle, incorrect temperature on the gauge, bad MPG. It can cause alot of problems

What Alex said.
The way I new mine was out was the temp gauge. It would shoot about every now and then, and wouldn't give me the correct reading.
