Resistance Values

[Chop 'N' Join]

Hi
I have a 380SEC - 1983 UK Version
Does anyone know the Resistance Values (OHMS) of the Coolant Temperature Switch?
That is, the Coolant Temperature Switch that is connected to the Control Unit (Electronic Idle Speed Control).
I need to know the values at approximately:
0C (32F)
20C (68F)
40C (104F)
80C (176F)
Thank you

Just in case its cold next week we will start off at

-20 ------------------------ 20-30k
0------------------------- 5-6k
20------------------------ 2-3k
40------------------------ 1-1.5k
60------------------------ 500-650
80------------------------ 280-350
100------------------------170-200
500------------------------forget it your engine f-----d

This is for both the water and air sensors

Hi Malcolm
I think that the figure on mine should be reversed to that.
What engine are those figures for?
If it did reach 500 we could always use it for a firework display!
Bye for now

These are for the 190,124,and 126 K jetronic system, Most sensors fall within this range

Hi Malcolm

Did a test.

Run engine to full working temperature.
Engine idle speed 1000RPM.

Disconnected the plug from the coolant sensor.

Bridged the plug with a 310 OHM resistor.
Engine idle speed increased.

Then I bridged the plug with a 4700 OHM resistor.
Engine idle speed remained at 1000RPM.

Reconnected the plug to the coolant sensor.
Engine idle speed 1000RPM.

What do you think?

The throtle swich if you have one is on the front of the throtle body at the top.

Hi Malcolm
Do you know the resistance value of the Idle Control Valve there supposed to be a spec for it but I can't find it?
Still no closer to solving this problem.

pins 1-2 = 12ohm
pins2-3 = 12ohm

Hi Malcom
My Idle Control Valve only has two pins.
Any ideas on the resistance value of that?
Thank you

Mine are only shown with 3 pins, sorry,nothing on a 2 pin version. my info was for a rotory idle control valve.

Hi
Just in case anyone would like to know.
The resistance value is 3.5 to 4.5 ohms according to ALLDATADIY.COM.
