As you may know, the ECU uses the CHT resistance to determine how much to increase the injection pulse width (i.e. mixture enrichment) when the motor is cold. I have some charts on this on my ECU web page, and I simulated the action of the circuit, which showed that once resistance of the CHT dropped below about 300 ohms, the ECU no longer keeps leaning out the mixture - this is the "stead state" or "fully warmed up" mixture.
I never actually verified this behavior with an ECU, so I experiemented with three ECU's this morning (037, 043, and 052), and verified that what was simulated is how it actually acts. Independent of engine speed or load, once the CHT drops below about 330 to 375 ohms, the injection pulse width stays the same. |
