Don't count on it...
Many ECUs check for a voltage swing on the oxgen sensor to
make sure it's connected, warmed and functioning properly. If you just
give it a straight voltage reading it will most likely go open loop and
generate an error code.
The temperature sensor is a work around. If you fool the ECU into
thinking that the engine is cold, it should allow a richer "cold" mixture
(assuming that that's your goal)
What type of FI are you trying to play with?
