coolant temp sensor
hey guys, im almost done with my MS1 install in my 96 miata. I am using a boomslang harness and sharing the coolant sensor... i plugged in the harness and megasquirt today to check the readings on some of the guages. I was getting 17 degrees F for my coolant today.... It is about 35 degrees out and the engine hasn't run since yesterday.... im assuming this isnt accurate and its about half wat it should be. I have set up and burned the values for the rx7 coolant temp using easytherm... did i mess something up?

I suspect the late model NAs have a different CLT resistance curve. saml01 and myself are bothing having a problem at the moment where it reads fine at lower temps, but at high temps the MS gauge will peg at 215 before the thermostat even opens. I think the upper value in easytherm will have to be changed for our cars.

its too damn cold to work outside and pull out the sensor to test it... any1 want to do it for me??? there is a pretty good chance they changed the sensors when they went to obd2 in 96...so i might be screwed. The install will be complete 2morro and ill be able to tell if mine is different or not
