Hi Bob and all people here,
As I suspect that the ECT sensor could go bad. From the always run rich with black smoke, choking and backfire... I have an idea of not using the ECT sensor.
But I will use the variable resister instead. Then I can adjust the voltage signal feed to ECU directly with my adjustment. I will put a variable resistor with a knob into the instrument panel, wired into ECU connector pins directly. And then I can set virtual engine temp signal as prefer.
So...if it working...
I can adjust the fuel volume as I like...However I think varying fuel rate approx 20 % should be OK to avoid too rich or too lean combustion.

Could my Idea will worked...?
Just my strange idea.
I intend to save the cost of ECT sensor and buy VR instead.

Set rich to cold start and set middle-lean to hot long run to save fuel in the final approach.
