Excessive "anal"-lyzing without an understanding of how something actually works is an equation for frustration. I'd take the thing to a competent mechanic if I were you.
If you're going to just swap parts you might as well jack up the radiator cap. Is the sensor cross counting and if so at what average voltage? Can you drive the signal to min and max? Does it test OK off the car? Heater check out? Wiring back to the ECU good? Those things will either fix it or...
Turn the key on and ground the wire. The fans should come on. If they do that wire is supposed to connect to the single terminal sending unit on the *radiator* side of the T stat housing but if there's more than one terminal on it, it's not the correct one. Somebody will come along and put our...
>>the voltage going to the ecu from the hac is 3.04. does that sound about right for 6500 ft elevation<<
As per the manual (you have one right?) it should be 3.6 vdc @ 750 torr, 2.8 vdc @ 540 torr, and 1.2 vdc @150 torr.
Torr is mmhg with 0 msl being 760.
In the interest of accuracy a couple of things:
1) Code 31 will not be related to a fault in the air temp sensor circuit.
2) Unless the associated electronics were also removed deleting AC components will not prevent a 51.
The EGR doesn't work (what stops it from working)
1) when the engine is cold (vsv)
2) at idle (ported vacuum)
3 above about 4300 rpm (vsv)
That said I r cornfuzed about how you can have a leak (one that beeps no less) between two parts that aren't connected...
Well, the box has to sink the injectors somehow. Point is our PCM does has drivers. It's been a long time since I was inside one so I don't remember whether they're FET, BJT, or even IGBT technology but I'm guessing MOSFET. Perhaps 3p will chime in to settle the matter.
