it does sound like a bad sensor.some after market sensors take longer(higher temp)before it turns on the fan,how hot does the guage read when its overheating

I may have called it the wrong sensor, but I replaced the sensor that turns the fan on and is located on the passenger side of the block between the #6 and #8 cylinders. I did not use any teflon tape on the install. The temp guage got as high as 260 before I turned the air conditioning on to activate the cooling fan. After that, it cools right down to 220 and stays there. Although the factory guage read 260, the radiator was not boiling over into the overflow tank. Any thoughts?
