Assuming I do not carry a spare temp-2 and I have this failure far from
home... would one of these be the correct work-around to get a hot
engine to start and not run rich:

1) Disconnect the Temp-2 sensor?

or

2) Disconnect and connect the 2 leads (are there 2 leads?) together?

or

3) Disconnect and ground the 1 lead (is there just 1 lead?)?

or

4) Other or no work-around?
