81283, Any harm from replacing IAT with a resistor?
Posted by 97grnRS, Oct-04-04 03:30 AM
i was thinkin about replacing my IAT sensor with a high resistance resistor to keep it like its always cold but will this harm anything else in the process? will it affect drivability? also in my book it says at 70 degree its like 900-1100 ohms resistance and at 250 its like 6-800 ohms. so i would have to find a 1100 ohm resistor correct?

the IAT ouput affects both fueling and timing. If it thinks its cold all the time, it's just going to run rich.
Its there for a reason. Leave it alone.
