you need to clear the code
Well . . . you know the problem was not caused by a bad catalytic converter. You could experiment with replacing your oxygen sensors, next . . .
That all depends what sensors need replacing
Coolant temperature sensors are usually located on the radiator.

If a 2001 Chevy Impala will not start after replacing a thermostat, perhaps it is possible that a sensor was bumped unknowingly. Check all of the sensors that might have been touched during the changing of the thermostat to see that they are all still plugged in.
It could be a dirty mass air flow sensor located between the air filter and motor. Only use mass air flow sensor cleaner to clean it.

Check to see if your 5.7 has 2 coolant sensors---if it does they should be on the front of the engine on the intake manifold and on the cylinder head, usually on the driver side close to the exhaust manifold.
I don't kknow what acura you have but on my 1990 integra gs low coolant level will cause the erratic rpm. Also the intake manifold gasket could be leaking causing an erratic rpm condition check all your sensors, mostly the throttle position sensor (on the throttle body) also check to make sure you dont have any vacuum leaks.
It is possible it's the gauge. However, if you used Duralast sensors, or the cheap version of any sensor, that could be your problem. I have had similar problems for months with my car. While replacing intake gaskets I replaced the coolant sensor and coolant switch because they were easier to get to at that point. I thought I was taking preventative measures by replacing them then. Couldn't figure it out. I recently got some factory sensors and tested them against the Duralast brand. There was quite a bit of difference. I replaced all my new sensors with some old factory sensors and it's working fine now. They cost more, but when you can, go with AC Delco on the sensors. BWD isn't too bad and Standard is decent too. I'd bet that is your problem.
Before you change the 02 sensors, make sure the problem is not a faulty hose leak. I was having the same problem with my 98 Expedition (Eddie Bauer) and the diagnostic codes indicated that all 4 of my 02 sensors needed to be changed. Thanks to an honest mechanic, the problem was solved by replacing the vacuum hose for under 20 bucks.
