I have a question for someone smarter than me about the ECT sensor. Does the PCM use the sensor for anything else besides just turning on the electric fan? The reason I'm asking is that I was able to rig up a potentiometer/toggle switch combination mounted in a small plastic box with the wires going to the ECT connector. With this set-up I've been able to fool the PCM into thinking that the engine coolant is hotter than it really is and it turns on the fan. I've tweeked it for about 195*. It seems to work pretty good. I'm just not sure if the PCM uses that sensor for anything else. You know, fix one thing then screw up another.
Thanks for any inputs.
