$220?

Miata ones are like $140, lol
edit: alternator is $20.99 + $6.99 core at local yard. And I think they have extended warranty on them, too.

Huh. That's kinda clever - the adapter thing. Anyway, I've been using hose clamps on the much of the fuel system forever... Don't see why not to continue. Those same fittings - to hose barb, are like $3 in plastic.
Every time I try to find an alternator, yeah, very pricey. If your time is worth it, junkyard is the way to go, esp. with the warranty.
You can do my mopar regulator trick, but you'll spend $20 for the box to control it.

So, on Zietronix's site - both sensors have the EXACT same specs.
Is that right, does anyone know? I guess there's no reason to get the new one if the old one is literally identical.
Also, how do you get fuel temp out of it, if it's a 1 wire frequency return?

Took off the alternator last night and the car runs fine (just ran it for a little bit with alternator disconnected). So I guess 16V ***** with a lot of things
Why wouldnt they? they are oem-type fittings.
We'll see what I find today!

Abe, I read over on Supra forums that they're electrically compatible. Supposedly the smaller part is more accurate, as it actually measures ethanol content rather than estimates. It's also supposed to be more durable. And it's cheaper.
It's a variable amplitude and frequency square wave. It sends fuel temp and fuel percentage on the same wire.

Word on the street was that these had sealing/retention issues (but it may be operator error) and the people were burning down cars, so Russell discontinued them and replaced them with these:
But hey, if its working on your car who am I to question it? I think even Fae was using one of the OEM retention clip style ones

megasquirt 3 supports it, apparently

Anyway, interesting find, I was thinking I would have to build a whole other circuit to get temp, that's pretty amazing... I wonder if MS-3 scales pulsewidths for density properly.
Then again, I live in SD. "freezing" is like 64, and "too hot to go out" is maybe 78.
