At the track yesterday (~50F with an unknown windchill factor), my scanner
showed the IAS sensor temp. (stock location) to be about 136F during and
after a 1/4-mi. run.

I don't know if it'll trigger the "Check Engine" light or not but
racers are known to put it in the windshield fluid bottle. If you
can get a bottle from a wreckers or somewhere, it may be an good
experiement.
