Okay...so I've fixed a problem that I have been having for over a year...
the problem was that whenever it was hot outside, >70* the car would run like crap.
It would hesitate, no throttle response and straight out lose power.
I don't want to say FIXED the problem, but I did band-aid the problem and get rid of it. I don't want to stay like this long term though.
What I did was replace the ACT sensor with a resistor, one that told the computer it was around 50* outside.
This completely got rid of the problem. BTW I also tried a NEW IAT to fix the problem as well- that DIDNT work.
So now I am really confused...I don't know what the computer is thinking...but with this new resistor its also harder to start the car ( which makes sense)
So I don't want to keep it like this FOREVER.
The only thing I can think of is that the wires going back to the computer maybe are shorted or have an open which changes resistance?
Any input would be great.
