Somebody said to me the first thing to do when a V8 3.9 EFi is not running
well is to change the temp sensors for the ECU.
When my V8 was running rough (over fuelling) I changed the ECU temp sensor
for about 8 quid and now it runs perfectly.
I measured the resistance of the old one at various engine temperatures
before taking it out and it just gave random readings. It was not even close
to the published specs.

I was kind of hoping this one would be suggested as that was my next
course of action.
