No. I would say the surging idle, or not wanting to idle at all would be your tps(throttle position sensor). In some cases you can take them off an clean them an get lucky. other cases there pop rivited in, so by then you mite just as well buy a new one, for there not very expencive. But it has nothing to do with your temp sensor. Best of luck, and hope my information was helpful.
