During my clutch/trans output seal debacle, I decided to try something other than unplugging the air temp sensor. It seemed to use a bit more fuel and dirty the oil quicker, so what to do?
So I took some temp/resistance measurements, and it went like this-
33D-----------------5.12 kOhms
61D-----------------2.96 kOhms >all in F.
90D-----------------1.85 kOhms
I went to radio shack, got a pack of resistors, and added a 670ohm resistor to one of the wires inline. this effectively reduces sensor's true reading of air temp. Runs fine, and I will update as the weather improves, including mileage.
