Is it at all possible to remove the engine tin over the oil cooler and temp sensor without dropping the engine? I need to get at both the oil cooler top and I need to replace the temperare sensor.
If so what should I look out for? |

The megasuirt uses an AD that reads from an anolog signal. The normal configuration uses a pull up resisitor of 2490 ohms to five voltes coupled the the thermister to ground. I am just replacing the the thermister with some electronics that drives out a signal from 0-5 depending on temp. ( 5 volts = 0deg C and 0 volts 250 deg C) Only possible way is to use CANBUS but that is too complicated and expensive. The accuracy of the tempature need is not that great.
