Water temp open loop

Hey guys. is there anyway I can get my water temp sender to send a closed loop to the ecm before it hit the 160 mark? working with an altered 1993 to 1995 project. just looking to see if the MAF is good. Or is there an OHM I can check at the Maf of a 1995 to test if its good? Haven't got this thing to run right, but been working on it for weeks... Fuel filter, fuel line flush, battery, alt, checked wiring, etc...

TIA

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor does not "send" a closed loop signal to the computer. The computer monitors the ECT signal then turns on closed loop operation based on it's programming. ECT is analog device.

What issues are you having?
