if you unplug the sensor, it may go into a "limp" mode. for performance wise that wouldnt work. if take the spout jumper off, what are you really gaining? i dont think that would work that well at all. if you want to fake out the computer thier is two things you can do. run a resistor(look in book for spec on resistence of coolant temp sensor) in the coolant temp pigtail. Also you can do the same thing, but do it to your intake air temperature sensor. i read but havent tried, relocating the intake sensor from the manifold to the induction tube. i was told this makes the car run a little better. i will try it our for myself.
