Within a few blocks, the engine could barely hold an idle. It kept hunting up and down and the AFR numbers (I know, I know….) were <i class="">extremely </i>lean, anywhere from 17 to 20 when 13 or so is the supposed target number. Acceleration was poor with some bucking. After a few blocks, of this, I pulled over and put the resistor back in place just so I could drive home with some peace of mind. I’d rather be getting bad gas mileage than heating up the heads while driving too lean. This leanness was with the MPS still adjusted to a richer position than the original calibration. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For fun, when I got home, I checked the resistance of the temp sensor with the resistor in place and it was 153 ohms. Without the resistor, it was 82 ohms. Clearly, my 100 ohm resistor is only giving about 70 ohms of resistance. I know that Jim says the resistance number isn’t that important here, but 70 ohms made a <b class="">huge </b>difference in idle, drivability, and AFR. Should this be so or does this point to another issue?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In any case, we’re kind of back to where we were a month or so ago, with three options:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—keep the resistor and lean out the mixture a bit at the MPS (back towards original calibration)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—remove the resistor and richen the mixture at the MPS (further away from o.c.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—remove the resistor, return MPS to o.c., and do something else that I’m unsure of. I’d have to do something though because if removing the resistor made it as lean as it did today, then recalibrating the MPS to original would make it even more so as original is clockwise from where I am now. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m definitely stumped!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
