Cool Air Temp Mod
The latest in our series for you do it yourselfers. This is mainly for those in a warm climate. This will make your air temperature gauge inside the AFM (ST165/ST185) always read 68 degrees F. During the summer if you let your car idle or sit at a red light the Air Flow Meter will heat soak and the temperatures read by the sensor are extremely high. This causes the computer to retard timing and hinder your performance. Even once moving and colder air hits the sensor, it takes time for it to read normally again. This way it reads a colder signal all time time. By Robert Pina
