CHT Sensor readings and question.

EDIT: My CHT sensor is a modern 2 wire




So, had major problems on the road.

Got the car home and here is where I think the problem lies.

When cold the CHT was showing 2.11 which is in specs (1.4 - 3.6 ohms)

When I barely warmed up the engine I was getting .203 which seemed at least I was going in the right direction. Still the car was nowhere near 105-175 degrees so this seemed off.

I decided to let the car idle for a while and got the temp close to 194F/90C per dash/gauge and the reading I got was 99.1 all the way up to 118, which is quite away from the .150 to .300 I was expecting.

Has anyone had these kind of readings before???



These are what I was using for comparison:







If I am reading things right it would seem my sensor is going completely in the wrong direction

I know these fail but can these technically fail this far off?

I am looking into making a resistor for my on the road kit per old threads and carry that, DME and other bits all the time.


Hopefully someone with similar experience can chime in.





Thanks!
Erik
