I haven't pulled the connectors on either of these recently myself, but I'm pretty darn sure that yanking the air temp sensor won't kill it dead. (I seem to vaguely recall that yanking the head temp sensor might kill it, but don't remember clearly.) In Ben Watson's fuel injection book, there's a little sidebar that describes the "old trick" of disconnecting the air temp sensor to smooth out the running of a tired, old, out-of-adjustment D-Jet Type III. Note that disconnecting either temp sensor causes the resistance to peg high, which tells the ecu "brrr, I"m *darned* cold! make it rich!" -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
