The ECU adjusts how much fuel is delivered in each injector pulse depending on the temperature of the engine. It could be a numer of things including your temp II sensor (the blue one), your O2 sensor, and your air meter. You should probably test the blue temp sensor at the ECU connection (a la the description in the Bentley in the fuel delivery system I believe). Test it when the engine is cold and then hot, there is a diagram which shows an appropiate resistance for temperature ranges... dave |
