Let us know how it goes.

BTW, there are Helms manuals for download, stickied in the Tech forum.

Look in the service literature for which wire color is power on all Honduhs 85+

Look in the service literature for which wire is sensor/logic ground on all Honduhs 85+

This ---- is simple, but most people melt an IAT or blow an ECU because they are stupid.

There is no coolant sensor in your IACV circuit.

Consulting some service literature for component test flowcharts would be most rewarding at this juncture.
