Couple questions about reading IAT2s.
So, I worked with Van(who even answers emails on the weekend BTW) to get my temps down. He sent me the C&R dual fan HE and a 170 tstat. Without doing the research that I should have, I ordered the Aeroforce Interceptor to read the IAT2s. Now, I read that Ford removed that from the Datastream on 2011+ and there is no PID for it. That being said, I get readings from my gauge on Platform 4->IAT2. The temp range it's showing is a little higher than I would expect, but within the realm of possibility. Now, if IAT2 data is unavailable, any idea what in the hell the gauge is displaying data for?
This morning, I datalogged the car on the way to work using Livelink as Van explained it can read PIDs and DMRs. I had the software validate all the PIDS as well. The IAT2 data shows exactly what the Aeroforce showed...started around 100 and ended up around 130 in light traffic w/ the A/C on. ~82 degrees and 80% humidity. I should offer that Ford had the car for ~2 months, replaced the PCM and updated the software with several test fixes.
Second question is, for those of you that do read IAT2s and live in hot ass parts of the country, what kind of numbers do you get when its mild or hot as hell outside? From everything I've seen, when its 108 on my drive home, the gauge reads 145ish. But again, no idea WTH that's actually displaying numbers for.
