I could start the car like normal and within 1 mile from cold start I could flip the switch and the car would tolerate warm fuel trims. Put it on a spdt switch so you could make it lock up when you wanted. You will loose the overtemp ability if you lock the temp with a resistor. Verify that this chart is accurate for your car, as always use at your own risk.  |
What over temp ability do you mean? I have the 5r55W I believe it is. According to torque od kicks in at 110° normal startup it's around 40-50° this time of year. Wouldn't resistor only need to swing the reading up that 60° and operate normally? Not sure how all this works I need dummy terms and things broke down Barney style. Very capable of turning a wrench but like understanding exactly what I'm doing when doing things. Wires are a nemesis of mine lol
