Well I have a question, How much does underhood temp effect the IAT? today in 70 degree weather IAT were 95. Does that seem high? jump on it and it got up to 125 but would come back to 95 in 10 sec. One intreresting thing was the engine temp, it was 198 on the freeway and same in town at slow speed. I turned the defrost on high at full fan speed and the temp came down to 185. I thought the tstat would keep it above 195?? Maybe the factory radiator is to small?
