I second that.

The relocated IAT sensor is enough in my opinion. Anything more and you'd
risk Closed Loop (or possibly "Limp Mode") functionality.

<< Relocate the coolant temp sensor to the washer reservoir, which is about
 70 - 80 degrees, from the original location, which is about 185 to 195
 degrees. Uhhhhh....nah. It may just work, but i'm not about to go that
 route.

 Thanks for the info though.... >>

Can you say "Rich condition"??????? The SBEC will think the motor is in
constant warm up mode, dumping lots more fuel into the motor. Have seen bad
temp sensors at work that were reading way low. Around 60 degrees, fully
warmed up. Engine wouldnt even start, let alone run.

I am glad somebody else here thinks the same way I do :o) Too rich= less
power.
