A) how do you open the brain? By prying those little tabs up?

B) I would be interested in getting a working head temp sensor.

What I find odd is that once I get the engine going again, after even
another mile drive and turning off the car, I had no problem starting it up
again. Perhaps there's some sort of mid-range temp that causes the csv to
work despite that the engine reached a just-too-warm temperature, and when
it gets just a few degrees hotter, the CSV doesn't go off. This might
explain my lousy city mileage... Maybe on the first go its working
perpetually, then stops on the next restart.

I double-checked my stater, and while it's an aftermarket rebuilt starter,
it is wired correctly, I haven't touched it since we wired it Jim.

I'll try disconnecting the CSV in the meantime. At what temps would it be a
good idea to re-hook it? Will it start properly without it?

Strange. Thanks for the advice, folks.
