Cold start problem

Was thumbing through the Bentley manual this morning. Big Ole basic
schematic view of the Digifant system on one page. Coolant sensor is one of
the key players feeding the control unit, with the control unit at the
center of the schematic. Sensor is at bottom of the cylinder head coolant
outlet.

Backtracking in the manual, there's a schematic view of the CIS-E fuel
injection system. Rather than feeding the control unit here, the coolant
sensor leads to what they call the oxygen sensor control unit. The oxygen
sensor control unit then feeds the differential fuel regulator. I don't
know if they mean the oxygen sensor, or the control unit. My guess it they
mean the control unit, using oxygen sensor input, controlling the
differential pressure regulator. One of many mystery description terms in
the Bentley manual.

Opposite of what I expected. Zero ohms/continuity. Both mulitimeter probes
were only contacting each terminal on the temp sensor. Checked 3 times for
my piece of mind. Replacement on its way via UPS.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas.
