Can I run with no air temp sensor temporarily?
Been waiting for my FD UIM to arrive for 3 weeks and with it ( installed ) is the Haltech air temp sensor. Need to make the car drivable, have put FC inlet back on with FC throttle body and Haltech TPS, the intercooler isnt hooked up so its running with no added turbo heat, can i set the inlet temp to 35degrees or something and just run it like that for the time being?

I think the Haltech just ignore the input if there is no sensor connected.
I don't think you can hard-set a specific temp.
It just ignores any air temp compensation.

I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure you could wire in a resister combination that would mimic a particular temp.
I have a chart that shows resistance to kilo ohms, 20C is 3.3906, 38C is 1.8027, 70C is .449
With the above info this should be do able cheap.

The other option is to zero out the map completely to get no correction from it. The ECU might say theres an error from an opened sensor circuit, but it shouldnt matter since its all zero'd out.
