Ok, here's my dilema and question.
I have one of these VDO Head Temp Sensors and 6 leads. I want to be able to monitor each head's temp. I'm running webers and thought this would be a handy thing to help figure out if/which one were running too lean. They work off impedance or resistance, don't have the part here or I'd go into detail. What kind of switch, etc. would work without giving unreliable results? ( I don't want 6 guages) Any thoughts, comments, experience? |

Me thinks Meuller is right. Head temps are not going to take you where you want to go....too many variables with no base line.
EGT will get you closer, if there was a baseline. O2 sensors would be better. Being a non-techno-geek, I just read plugs. |
