2-wire IAT measures open ckt @ room temp

My car has the IAT shown in the following pic. I thought it was broken because the resistance measures open circuit at room temp. I bought a new Standard Motor Products AX24, which is very close to mine, but it also measures open circuit at room temp. Both of the them will jump from OL to somewhere in the 500 Ohm neighborhood when I blow my heat gun on them. The resistance drops from there as they heat up. The resistance climbs again as they cool off, then jumps abruptly from 500-ish to OL when they get close to room temp. Both of them have a 2-wire interface that uses an EV1 fuel injector connector.
What sensor technology do you think they use, and can I use one of them with my MS3?
