Default Noticed something interesting while logging monday....

Well to keep it short and simple I went out and drove around for 20 minutes to see where my LTFT's ended up. Well scrolling down the options I noticed the IAT was reading 86 degrees but the outside temp was near 40 degrees. Sound like I need to install the vararam intake to get the intake temps down to make some more hp.
Phillip :D

The IAT temp always goes up if you are sitting at a light...If you are driving in 40 degree for at least a mile or so and it still shows up that hot..You have a bad sensor...It should cool down once you start moving...

A way to test the circuit..is to put a 4.7k ohm resistor in the IAT socket.. Autotap should read 57 degrees..

My IAT usually reads 10 degrees higher than ambient temp shown on the A/C
