If it matters, at one point last month I tried adding a 100 ohm resistor in line with the CHTS and the warm idle lope still occurred. My understanding is that the other temp sensor doesn’t matter below a certain number of ohms, but I could be wrong. Generally, if I’ve ever unplugged the intake air temp sensor, the idle gets quite high as the mixture gets richer but I haven’t tried unplugging it during the warm lope.
