Help!

OK, here is the situation. The other day, my check engine light comes on and stays on, so I get it scanned, comes up with the egr valve code. I do some research and find out that carbon buildup is a common cause of the code. I take out the egr valve, clean it up with carb cleaner as well as the port that it bolts to. I put it all together, fire it up and the light goes off! Yeah! It was a little cold out (-5c) when I took it for a good drive to warm it up and blow some carbon out. I went down the highway for about 8 minutes, and when I hit the turnaround to come back, I noticed that my temperature gauge wasn't working! The gauge moves about 4mm when you turn it on, but it doesn't go above the 0 mark. Is there any way that these two events are connected? Did I bump a wire or maybe clog a sensor? Where is the engine temp sensor? The car has never ran rough and all the fluids are perfect. I really need to fix this! Please help!
