Hey DAKsters,
Actually, I plugged a resistor into the IAT harness without the hassle
of removing the sensor. You can find a table of ohm values and
corresponding temps in the service manual. I used a 15k ohm resistor to
show a constant ~ 50 degrees F at all times. Never got any codes, and
mileage hasn't changed a bit. Seemed to pick up better at low speeds.
Later,
