air + water temp

[davyv]

When you start the car and leave it on tickover what air and water temps do you get. Is the air temp the intercooler temp or air filters. Thanks.

air temp is neither: it\'s the temp in the upper inlet manifold.

You will get a rising water temp... this should be obvious.

The air temp will be a combination of uim temp and air temp depending on which is higher. The temp is decided by a thermocouple which is made up of 2 differant metals that expand at differant rates. This induces a voltage that the ecu measures and applies to a calibration table to referance the volts to determine temp. depending on the temp of the air and the heat soak is the answer....
