"New" doesn't always mean functioning correctly. Coolant sensor should be in the front of the intake near the thermostat housing.

Coolant temp sensor is separate from this sensor.

Make sure your cooling system is working normally, low coolant temps will effect the sensor making the computer think the engine is still cold.
