Cut the wire at the end of the OEM plug (at the sensor on the block) and use one of those bullet female connectors. Crimp, heat shrink, and you're good to go. Less than 2 minutes of work.

He's talking about the wire that you're talking about in your very first post.

Also measure the resistance of the temp sending unit itself. It or the connector/plug may be bad or contaminated with oil.
