This trick the ECM resistor was getting quite hot during the test with a fully charged battery and a sub 2 amp field current. Me wonders if something in the ECM is also getting ridiculously hot where before it was not.

Me wonders if there is a better way to 'trick the ECM' effectively

I did run the engine with nothing attached at all to molded connector field terminals and the CEL light did not come on in the minute or two It idled but the battery was holding 12.8+ volts still.

My engine requires 8.2 amps at idle.

This adjustable regulator will allow me to take almost all alternator load off a freshly started cold engine, instead of my old VR instantly seeking 14.9 and causing the alternator to goto max output.

MOre data to come.
