Code modification to not export empty values (as zero) and empty range

I have the below VBA that allows me to export a CSV file from a defined range. However, there are 2 issues here that I need your help to resolve:

1) When I export using this code, the exported CSV file includes empty/blank fields from the defined range. I believe the problem is that the .csv is taking the cells that have a formula or are within the range and evaluates them as empty strings.

2) When I export the file, zero values (where the formula is not returning any values) are being shown as zero "0" in the CSV file. I'd like these fields to be completely blank.

In other words, I want all empty areas to be shown as blank fields.

Really appreciate your help.

VBA Code:
Sub saveRangeToCSV()

    Dim myCSVFileName As String
    Dim myWB As Workbook
    Dim tempWB As Workbook
    Dim rngToSave As Range

    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    On Error GoTo err

    Set myWB = ThisWorkbook
    myCSVFileName = myWB.Path & "\" & "CSV-Dataloader-Import-File-" & VBA.Format(VBA.Now, "dd-MMM-yyyy hh-mm") & ".csv"

    Set rngToSave = Range("A3:AE2000")
    rngToSave.Copy

    Set tempWB = Application.Workbooks.Add(1)
    With tempWB
        .Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
        .SaveAs Filename:=myCSVFileName, FileFormat:=xlCSVUTF8, CreateBackup:=False
        .Close
    End With
err:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
