Pretty sure those are 712-4WK (see http://www.frostalarm.com/cat/p33.html )
themocouples (variable millivolt output) and not thermistors (variable
resistance since I just talked to Westech. Thakes a different gauge
circuit than the milliamp circuit (essentially a gas gauge) circuit used
on the Corsa CHT (cylinder head temperature) gauge.
Can see that this is not going to be quite as easy as I thought, may take a
small semiconductor circuit but is certainly doable.
