160 Stat - ITS FIXED!

[Dominic]

Well this rules, Zoomer was 100% right. Throw in the 18K resistor and the SES/gauge death issue goes away. Drove over 500 miles yesterday, gauge should have died on me, but it didnt :D The car was stopped to fillup for gas a few times and such, the gauge is still hanging in there. Acts like my 2000 Firebird now :D

Plus since my car thinks its 10degF outside, I get fully advanced timing to go along with my 160 stat... Runs very well on the highway. I made 28mpg @ an avg speed of ~91mph. (310 miles, 3.4hrs) [img]smile.gif[/img] With all the blistering passing I did Im surprised my mileage was even that good :D (All thanks to the 160 stat, now I can once again get 32-34mpg on the highway at normal speeds :D )

If anyone would like a 5 pack of these resistors for your 2001/2002 Camaro or Firebird I'll mail you some for $1 until I run out (I've got about 100 resistors right now).

Email me and I'll email you the address to mail it. Thank zoomer for the fix :D

electrical is a hobby of mine, i have thousands of resistors.. from the smallest, to the largest(within reason)

I had severe trouble finding 18KOhm resistors - ended up ordering them from a site online. I ordered 10 and got 100 :D (woops). Nice to see you back on fbv6 zzcop!

EXECLENT! im glad to hear everything worked out for you without having to do the 2000 pcm thing.

[WhiteV6]

Where do you put the resistor, on the IAT sensor or...

[Dominic]

Yup, in the IAT Sensor.

[MEAN 98]

dominic ,did you say you put the resistor prallel? so it doesnt go in series.. i want to do the 160 mod when it warms up again...like my heat

[Dominic]

You simply unplug the connector, plug in the resistor across both terminals, and tape it up somewhere. [img]smile.gif[/img] Its parallel technically, but you really shouldn't put nomenclature on its connectivity since its the only load on the line.

[Dominic]

ttt if anyone cares. [img]graemlins/toto.gif[/img]

[Tri-Flo 99]

would it work on a 99

[camaro_zach]

99's dont need to do this, only 2001 and 2002. 2000 and lower just put in the 160 thermo and smile. [img]smile.gif[/img]

How weird is that.. you have to spoof the IAT to get the ECT to work.

Glad you got it going though!

Very weird indeed, thanks [img]smile.gif[/img] And yeah this is only for 01-02 cars [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

one time adam (*K*night Rider) and i accidentally severed all the wires that hooked up to the IAT...so we just got about 10 feet of wire and put it up under neath his front bumper LOL

[Mikey]

Can someone explain what this does and how its done...
