Yuppers! I grew up in MN. So after 42 yrs I know how to deal with them Northern boys. Ya' just tell em' the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US dollar and they are all good. It's amazing what a 2 cent difference makes.

I got a little PO'd that after years on this forum nobody would post the resistance they got from their IAT. Yea I have a dozen charts and I'm pleased Crusiers DRB scanner says it's warm in Arizona. I'd have to dig now....IIRC mine would go down to 320 as the lowest.


I might (or might not), have picked up one MPG when I replaced it with a 225 ohm resistor. October now and still warm here.....NO PROBLEM, but.....I have yet to see what it does on a supper cold 33* morning.....

We are sitting at a brisk 33 degrees this morning. I went out and tested mine which is now clean and it comes in at 5.50 which from the test sheet puts it right where it needs to be when cold. I'm hauling some yard waste today so I'll test it later when the jeep is warm and see what numbers I get. CTS is at 5.81

Yeah I ran up to get beer got it good and warm (watched heat gauge T stat opened ) got back home, ran into the garage and tested it. It was funny, as I sat there it started at .70 then .69 then .68 then .67 and so on. I'm gonna grab a new one and a CTS as well just to be on the safe side before the weather gets any colder up here. Cruiser any recommendations on brand to use for these two sensors?

I don't think you can find a new IAT any more.

Appears your right... Might have to try cleaning it some more. It's still a little black on the inside but at least I can see through the cage now.

Good idea. Some folks seem to think the IAT reads through the threads... If that were the case, why is the "cage" there?

Lol now that you mention it, people here get all hot and bothered when the dollar goes up a cent. McDonalds and coffee shops of the sort even post 'today's exchange rate' on the menus. Come on man, it's a 2 dollar coffee...

I'm also from New Zealand, and make trips back when I can. I'm telling you, they say 'eh' more than Canadians lol I never noticed it. They thought we were the stereotype when it was them all along
