Air intakes -42 degrees
From time to time my air intake temps are (negeative)-42 to -20 or so which is totally off. Normal is 40 to 50 depending on outside temps. The car dosen't seem to run funny when in the negative, I just thought it was wierd. Whats broke guys if anybody knows. Thanks

low temps like that would indicate excessive resistance across the temp sensor circuit. Could be your temp sensor going bad, or a poor plug connection causing the problem. I would 1) make sure the plug to the temp sensor is firmly seated, 2) I would replace the temp sensor.
The result of your car "thinking" it's -40 degrees is it will run rich, probably 14 - 20% richer than it should as it thinks it's compensating for cold, denser air.
