air intake temp readings? ver. 2.0

yes, if the computer thinks 200degree air is coming in its gonna retard timing and prolly increase fuel. but im sure its gonna pull hella timing

Sorry I missed this one. The FD is completley different. Do NOT use the FD sensor.

Go to the third gen forum and download the FSM and you'll see that for yourself.

High AIT temps will cause timing to be retarded so its on the safe side but you really should just fix it. It can't be wired backwards btw.
