    I want to build a timing commander/happy knob Does any one know for sure what the resistance of the IAT reads at (-40*C, -30*C and -20*C) or (-40*F, -22*F and -4*F)?

    My guesses are 100k, 53k and 29k respectively. I would check with a decade box, but my car is not here at the moment.

    Got back from work and i have the car, but no decade box. It must be in storage. But, i have resistors!!
    here are my numbers: *C/Ohms/cell recorded in HPT
    -39/unplugged/-40
    -34/93k/-30
    -28/46.5k/-30
    -23/32k/-20
    -19/24.5k/-20
    -15/19.47k/-10
    -9/14.6k/-10
    -1/9.8k/0
    14/4.65k/10
    70/468/70
    now that i have numbers...

    looks like you need a 0-100kOhm potentiometer. buy one with like 10 set positions and then play with it like that. so long as whatever resistance its pulling is set up for a specific level of timing then you should be fine. wish i could have set up my happy knob. timing changes on the fly are awesome.
