i.ride.suzuki you seem to right about voltage drop "raising" the temp, but now i'm more curious so, what happens if you put a capacitor in there, which should increase the voltage and "drop" temp.

Jimmy, I don't think a capacitor is going to raise the voltage at all. About all a capacitor would do would be to "buffer" the voltage changes slightly to "smooth" out increases and decreases. The effect would be to make the system somewhat less responsive to change.

There are solid state amplifiers that would/could increase the voltage seen in the circuit though. You'd need something with a fairly small amplification factor.

When this happens, your vehicle's $3000 computer is junk and needs to be fixed by the dealer. The problem is, when you take your computer to be fixed, the dealer will use a their computer to interface with yours. Instantly they will be able to detect these changes and will void you warrantee!
OMG! My ECU must be damaged by now then. I have been playing russian roulette all this time! Someone needs to remove people like this from the gene pool...

I salute the OP since they were smart enough to ask the question!

English as a third languange doesn't help either...
