Are you sure there are no air pockets near the sensor? It the sensor is not in direct contact with the coolant...it won't work correctly.

did you forget to plug in the ECT sensor?? double check to make sure you have it plugged in and the connection is good.
also double check the coolant level in the radiator with the engine cold to make sure it is full. if not, start the engine with the cap off and let it run until it warms up and then slowly add coolant until the radiator is full, then replace the cap.
