You may want to rheostat your engine temp sender instead.
Most EFI computers keep things enriched until approx 160 deg.
*Occasionally* telling the ECM that the engine temp is 120deg for
short blasts will prolly give you the enrichment you want.. Don't
leave it this way for extended periods of time, as it can screw up the
cat. You'll get a friendly reminder in the form of that rotten-egg sulfur
smell if you forget & leave things rich...
