Meh if i had a garage and i could sit down and find the temp sensor. then i can read the voltage. and i can acutally test the voltage it needs to keep the door open and make a switch on demand.
just a crazy idea. since i'm a computer enginnering student that's broke and can't go to school, can't let it go to waste i guess. :rant:
i think it all runs in vaccums lines...not alot of electric stuff in carb modelsQuote:

Like in my computer, i got a liquid cooling kit in it. and it has a 2 wire temp sensor which goes over my p4. and all it does is change resistance i tested it, connect it to a multimeter and put it between your fingers and watch the KOhms change.
damn guess it's back to the books.
Edit. -- I just saw the thread on the civic air box makes my mod like like #^%$, but anyways where is the best place for me to get my hands on one. Another question about it, what do you guys do with that diaphram and it's vacuum. it just looks so clean i could'nt resist and it looks simple to do and plus i can see the carb. speaking of that i noticed that the size of the screen is much bigger in my accord than in the civic. lol one more thing i noticed i did'nt know that civics were carbed as well, i'm so used to the damn annyoning ones around here. Big muffler big attitude.
if you can find a vacuum valve you can cut off vacuum to the bimetal spring/switch in the air box thus over riding the trap door
got bump?
The reason that flap door thing is there is to prevent carb icing in cold temps. in the carb air is sped up as it goes faster it looses heat and may cool as much as 40 deg F. so if its 70 degs ambient temp outside and you drive your car the air going though the cab may be at 30 deg F. At that temp water may condense out of the air and freeze to the walls of the carb. so removing this may make your engine stop working for a min as you are driving. after the engine stalls the heat from the engine will melt the ice in the carb and it will start just fine and run until it ices again. this is why they put that hot air intake and the screen under your carb to heat the air coming in. [also your intake manifold has coolant passages and a thermostat for more warming.] so the CAI is built right in to the carb. However you prob will get better results in pickup, power gains, etc. from having having the air forced into the intake by the car moving forward. But i would let the computer take care of the intake temp.
