I really gotta do that experiment. I am soooooooooooooooooooo lazy sometimes.

Good point on the scangauge probably being fooled also. At minimum I can sue the pot and the scangauge to read out what the ECU thinks the new intake temp is or O2 level. I could then see how much of a gain it takes to set a fault or go into another mode where it thinks the O2 sensor is failed.

I would be concerned that not all cars are going to have the same failsafing criteria as that gets more and more sophisticated as time goes by. I can compare our failsafing from 1996 and now and I would laugh at the crude failsafing they did back then. Who knows how much you can fool it unless you test it?
