Subject:Re: Question about temp II sensor and bad running

I'm not sure I did the test right. Scott said something about leaving
the sensor in the system and testing it. That's not what I did. I got
the pipe hot by running the car and set the multimeter on 2 volts and
probed the contacts. I am not sure that should yield anything or not.
