Default Question on air intake temperature...

I logged block 004 which I think is the intake air temperature. I held pretty steady on 78C Celsius on a 30 minute drive. Is it a normal temperature?

Default You must be looking at the coolant temp...

Block 004 shows coolant and IAT temps.

Default Isn't 78C low?

Isn't 78C a little low for coolant? Mine goes up to 90C typically. But it would be way too high for intake temps.

Yeah, it's low... but I can't imagine his intake temps being 78c.

So the first block is coolant and intake temps?
I remember one of the readings being in the 30C's. Btw it was about 80F outside when I looked at block 004.

78 C is ~172 F .. IIRC our thermostats are sposed to be ~80 C =~176 F.

Default I think block 004 is Revs, Voltage, Coolant temperature, Intake temperature.

30 C is ~86 F and that is not surprising . .especially given a 80 degree day. I think you are likely to see IATs in the low 30s just crusing around and IATs in the upper 40s or low 50s if you are really on it .. w/ a FMIC.

Default Re: 78 C is ~172 F .. 80C or 90C?

I thought I heard 90C, not 80C? I agree that 78C is close enough to 80C, but pretty far off 90C.
