    Oddity I noticed today. For some reason today I pulled up on the clutch pedal to let it self adjust. I had no logical reason for doing this as the clutch works fine. After doing that for almost my...

    Yup, looks like you guys are right. That thermistor is for batt temp. When looking at the reading with a scan tool it sits at 5v now.

    Re: 1989 Caravan project street sweeper

    Ah ok. Strangely enough it seems to run fine without it. I'll check the reading with my scan tool tonight on my way to work. Maybe it's defaulted to a value and costing me timing.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to go with the electronic controls for now and see how it goes. If it becomes a huge headache I'll go back to the G Valve.

    Small update. In the last week or so I have relocated the boost and afr gauge to the cubby hole just above the radio. I really didn't like them hanging off the dash the way they were.

    Very interesting. I really had no idea there were so many options for refrigerant.

    I must say 45 degrees F is just fine with me for now but I will know for sure when it gets 90+ degrees here.
