If I still had a starter relay like a normal pickup that would be easy...
But I don't, and I'm so frustrated with it I've given up.

I know I've got it wired correctly.
But I don't know if the board is screwing with the input when the engine is running.

I've said MANY times that [module] is like a map with "Thar b Dragon's 'ere" covering unexplored territory.

Yep. Not one of those morons running 160F t-stats because the dweeb at the parts counter told them it'd heat faster. One of them at the local AZ tried telling me that...

One final note (man this thread is awful informative for a *marketplace* listing!)... noticed some minor leakage after work today. Turns out the taper-threaded barb for the overflow was sloppy loose. I can't remember if the other one had that issue out of the box or not. Easy fix with a 10mm deep socket, but still...

I was looking back at the LMC vendor review after my rant yesterday and noticed I said something about the 15yo behind the counter at your LAP.
Your comment gave me a chuckle, but I wonder how many peoples vehicles are stuck in a rich loop with dead converters due to "that kid" 😖😄😡

Unfortunate
You would like to believe someone with some years behind them would know better.
