Subject:Re: Working ranges for Temp sensor and AFM

Sorry for being so cheap with the words, it�s just that I don�t know what
else to insert.

I am trying to help a friend with his van; we disconnected the Temperature
sensor after feeling that idle was errant, and,.... it worked (although with
slighty high rpm�s).
That is why I would like to know in which ranges (ohms) does this sensor
work in order to find if this is malfunctioning and so, we will replace it.
(Will use a multitester)

Regarding the AFM (Air Flow Meter), it is my friend who thinks it is the
defective one.

Please tell me what else should I take into consideration.

(Rough idle for a couple of minutes, then accelerates and deccelerate in
turns and after taking out the Temp. Sensor, idle is stable but high, and
burning a lot of gas)
