Intake Air Temp???

Is there a way to tap into the air temp sensor located on the elbow just in front of the throttle body and be able to read the temp???

Thumbs up

You can do the same thing by tapping into the wire that goes to the ECU. Look up its code and its position (go to http://www.fc3s.org/ ) and then simply wire up a temp gauge up to it

the temp gauge would have to be made for the same voltage readings as the stock sender...

The easiest thing to do would be to buy a gauge tap an extra hole for its sender.

The best you could probably do with the stock sender is hook up a voltmeter to it and try to convert the voltages into temperatures.
