Air Temperature Sensor
Is ours the standard resistance type? I'll go figure it out one of these days but I was just curious if anyone knew, I'm gonna start messing with it soon.

Sorry I worded that badly I think, most air temp sensors seem to measure in resistance rather than output voltage, I was wondering if the FC's was the same?

The air temp sensor is a thermistor, which is a very common type of temp sensor. It's resistance decreases as temp increases, and vice versa. All the other temp sensors on the car are of this type too.
