[Diy_efi] OEM Air Temp Sensors - Quality

[Daniel Nicoson]

Thanks Carter.  I'll hit Google and see what I can learn.

Not an immediate project but I had the thoughts (I work in the back of my
head a lot as my day goes on...) and figured I'd get pointed in the right
direction.  This list is always good for these kinds of things.

Take care,

Dan Nicoson

Apologies for jumping in, I'm sure David will have
some better practical advice and information to add.

The Ford sensor is a thermistor RTD.
It's quite robust, and simple to interface.
There is a published Resistance vs Temp graph, and you
can easily calibrate an individual unit to greater
accuracy.

AFAIK, the same basic unit is used for both air and
coolant, the wet one has the RTD sealed for
protection.
