a egt probe has no resistance, its some kind of voltage source which generates a very small amount of voltage (mV) ... if you want to read such a sensor you need a amplifier with a very high input resistance...

maybe you can explain what you want to do.

hope that helps.
Best regards
Malte.

Well technically it reads resistance....thus the name a thermistor; however, I wouldn't know how to read it.

More resistance, less voltage, different reading
less resistance, more voltage, different reading
no resistance, source voltage, different reading

So, it has everything to do with resistance. It doesn't "generate" voltage at al.

well... i'm arguing with a few guys on our local form about how to install a etg.

i tryed to help this guy and i said that he need to solder the wire to the gauge, and thay said that that the led will be a kind of a resistor...
thay said that twisting the wires togther will be better.
