Head Temp Sensor Effects

I just completed a pSpice simulation analysis of the head temp sensor circuit in the ECU:

The results are pretty interesting. They show that the head temp sensor's effect on mixture is fixed past temperatures of around 210 F or so (as you would expect). They also show that there are significant differences in the warm-up characteristics of the two ECU's I analyzed (037 and 052).

I'll be adding data on using ballast resistance and comparing the odd 0 280 130 017 sensor later.

Whoops, corrected an error in the 052 plot due to a misinterpretation of a note on the schematic. Differences are still there between the 037, but not as dramatic as before. Refresh your browser if you've looked at my page.
