There is a temperature sensor in the engine that reports engine temp to the Digijet control module (DCM) by varying a 5 volt signal. When cold the DCM richens the air-fuel mixture and gradually leans it out over a 3-5 minute period. The sensor should have high resistance when cold (~2-3,000 ohms) and low when hot (~400 ohms). JP |
