65 degrees ambivalent temperature
new fan, recent temperature sensor/sender
140K miles , good shape
Cold start up seems to be normal.
But, when warm, she will quickly start and after a few seconds(varies with the engine temperature) STALLS !
2.74 ohm at the sensor in the thermostat housing ... engine cold ...
help

 

check your multi-meter settings and retest the resistance. should be closer to 2700 ohms at room temp than 2.7 ohms. The resistance should drop to the 200 or so range at operating temp (ie 180 to 190F)

 

Thank you, I do have trouble reading the scale on a meter !

 

I am doing this "all over again" using the analog multi-meter ..

Also, apparently the dash board temp gage is now ''dead'' .

Tried another restart, engine luke-warm … An immediate run and 2 seconds later .. a stall out.

 

Ohms at the temp sensor … cold … 1.8K … warm/hot … 300
Now the check engine lite is on
9 00 pm 60 degrees …. at start up she ran rough and the idle fluctuated between 1.0K and 1.6K but she then settled down to a smooth 900 and then 700 … idled for 10 minutes .. no stall.
This problem is really "erratic'' !
I suspect a computer .
