Subject:      Temp II Again
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

As the Temp II sensor heats up, the resistance drops off.  I would assume
this leans the mixture to some "ideal" point.  Has anyone tried
out-smarting the ECU by disconnecting the sensor and manually adding a
resistor across the Temp II wiring (say ~500 ohms) to see if any
improvement is gained.  My '85 Digijet always seems to run rich at both
start-up and hot.  I thought of trying several different resisters, 500,
750, 1000 ohms to see  how it would run during cold starts and hot.  I
checked my sensor (even plotted it on a graph) and it is right on with the
Bentley.  Would running two wires to the front to a digital multimeter give
me reliable numbers as to what the Temp II is doing while driving?  (Poor
man's digitool)  What type of resistor would you use for the above test?
