          We'll i wonder if i broke mine. Whats it do? we drilled a hole to stick it into my air box (me and max) and now when i run my engine hard it gets a little bit hotter. We also removed the air silencer.

                We ran it even harder yesterday and it barely raised, this is the first time ive seen it go over the 210 mark.

                    That sensor doesn't have anything to do with your cooling system (well, it is part of how the fans decide when to turn on the 2nd stage, but that's minor). It does however help control your timing advance.

                      No i havent... i'll do that though. But why would one day make a diff. I put the thing back to stock now except its got a new airfilter so i think things will be better.

                          yah it was hot both days. Not as hot today though. It'll probably be better now.
