Buck,
If you have the old style cyl head temp sensor, ask politely for them to change it and if they refuse, then find a shop that realizes that the customer is important. The mechanic is FOS (full of something) when he says that it cannot cause this. It did it on my car!
You need the new style sensor... it will go bad eventually, period. There is a very good chance that this is your problem so eliminate this variable from the list of options. When my sensor was bad it would do it warm or cold... replaced it and it has never done it again.
