Still haven't done a test drive but at idle the numbers are staying about the same here are my results.
All tests TPS - 12 IGN - 20 LP - CLSD MAP - 4.5 100 OHM LOD - 23 GPH - .3 FIA - 335 150 OHM LOD - 20 GPH - .3 FIA - 315 220 OHM LOD - 22 GPH - .3 FIA - 290 330 OHM LOD - 22 GPH - .3 FIA - 260 OPEN (DISCONNECTED) LOD - 23 GPH - .5 FIA - -40 CODE P0113 (IAT SENSOR HIGH VOLT) SHORT LOD - 23 GPH - .3 FIA - 375 CODE P0112 (IAT SENSOR LOW VOLT) CONNECTED LOD - 22 GPH - .4 FIA - 105 According to my data this sensor makes no difference at idle. |
The IAT sensor hack makes the car more load sensitive. Keep that in mind. If I were you I would put a 100 ohm and 330 ohm together and drive it for a day. Just pair the wires of the resistors together then leave 2 of the wires long to stab into the connector.
Warning! I'm no expert. |
I took the van for a test drive using the 330 ohm resistor which is 260F. I think the SG2 uses the IAT to compute fuel usage. While driving to Home Depot my MPG was 35.5 with cruise control set at 30mph. I took it on the highway and was getting between 45-50 mpg going 50mph. The SG2 has to be flawed because I doubt this hack would boost the numbers by this much especially on a minivan.

I would try to use LPH and convert back to GPH. Why? Because the LPH will show finer granularity : This table is my Saturn SW2, which idles at 0.3 GPH which is also 1.0 LPH Attachment 656 Since the ScanGauge only shows data to the tenth, the GPH is not giving you as much "precision" as the LPH. PS - I asked the scangauge guy to have 2 digits after the decimal point on the display for just this reason. CarloSW2 |
The average for the trip ended up being 35.5mpg

Intake Air Temp resistor experiment. https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=2831 Quote:
To validate this one way or another, I would have to run a tank with one resistor, then keep switching off to other resistors for other tanks. Where's the gallons and time when I need them most!?!?!?!? CarloSW2 |
I did read that thread. I just wanted to try it myself. Why would the IAT have such an impact on the SG2? What does the IAT actually do to then?
|
I don't want to discourage experimenting. Perhaps I went too far and the computer ignored the input. I never did get an explanation from Scangauge about how IAT could affect indicated mileage. I think Ron DeLong just had to discount the possibility.
I have been running real heated air and as Diamondlarry pointed out, when both water and air are above 200 it does not run all that well. I have never observed a timing retard on my car. My timing never makes it as far as some others report. The max I ever see is 34 degrees. The reported mileage is good though. Here is a recent picture of my plugs. It looks like it is running a bit lean. It has a slight miss at the warmest temps. I am hoping for Somender grooves to help with that. The ceramic is white but three of the ground electrodes are dark. There is a bit more about the plugs here. https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=3927&page=2 https://xs116.xs.to/xs116/07250/fourplug.JPG I'll keep watching. It would be good to be proven wrong in this case :D . |
Yeah heated metal and oxygen=bad. So complete burn is pretty important. Also some ECMs do add extra fuel to cool down combustion if they sense its too hot. Best expansion of ignited A/F from combustion is at ideal A/F ratio. Maybe using less fuel is the same as being easier on the pedal. Reducing fuel in A/F ratio should reduce efficiency of combustion.
