  The only thing that I have not tested is if there is enough

 resistance signal being input into the CIS-E computer...
 i.e. at startup...the resistance signal from the coolant temp. sender
 now sends its resistance through the wires of the module and back
 to the computer...would this increase the resistance enough to
 affect cold startup?  anyone?>>

I don't know exactly what wire size you used in the construction of the 
module, but typical DC Resistance values for #18 cu wire are in the 
neighborhood of 8 ohms PER THOUSAND FT-- even accounting for temperature, I 
seriously doubt that the additional resistance of the wire itself would have 
much effect on the current in the loop.  I would be more concerned with the 
resistances of your splices and terminations-- if bypassing the module cures 
the over-rich cold start problem, you may have a corroded terminal or cold 
solder joint somewhere.

Nice to see an independent source collecting and reporting "hard data"!
