Hey All,
Troubleshooting a rough smoky idle, and found some readings that i want to bounce of someone else before i go throwing parts at it. Tested Temp Sensor according to the Service Manual, @3k Ohms at Freezing, @ 1.1k Ohms at room Temp. All seem within Specs. The manual states to measure resistance across the Tan/Black wires. So far looking good.
Second test says to check for continuity between each lead and ground, and there should be none. Both Tan/Black wires show No Continuity,which checks out per Manual; but the Tan/Blue lead is showing @900 ohms to the Balck Wire. Maybe i am reading too much into the manual, but i would assume there would be continuity between the black lead and ground.. :facepalm:
That kind of ambiguity doesn't lend much faith in the service manual.. Looking for one of the experts here to say, Makes sense, Replace the damn sensor! Thanks all.
