I remember that thread from about 6+ months ago, someone hooked up a temp reader, and measured the temp of the engine bay while moving, and also after standing at a redlight.

does anyone have a link to this thread? I searched for it, but maybe i am not searching with the correct key words. anyone help me out here? thanks.

 

I datalog with my scantool (www.autoenginuity.com) which reads off the stock air intake temp sensor and ECU

If the outside temp is about 75 degrees F and i'm sitting at a light, the temps go past 150 degrees easily, once the car starts moving above 35 mph the temps are about 80-90 degrees F.

I can try it again if ppl are interested to get a exact range

Where you the one who made a huge thread about doing this a while back? if so, could you find that thread you made for me? I am trying to enlighten the 4th gen people about this information, but they do not beleive me.

thanks for the link... but why are you 'ng me for help out 4th gen'ers?

 

I am not gaying you I am just saying most 4th genners are hard headed and will not listen even when you prove it to them w/ facts.

 

agreed

I like the scantool, however it hasn't been working with 95-00 maximas. Something about them being not fully OBD-II compliant cause Nissan went cheap on the design

 

Ah, I understand now. and you make a good point... i think this is the last time i post in there again..

 

hmmm, intresting. do you know of anything that is similar to this unit that will work on a 2k2 max?

 

so are 99% of the people in this forum

 

WWW.CARCHIP.COM

 

it works fine for 01+ maximas and all other obd-II compliant vehicles

their customer service is excellent also

 

I was the one who started the thread about 1 year ago after I installed my Berk.

Still have the probe right next to the K&N filter. All winter it followed the same rule. While moving the underhood temp would run about 2-8 degrees above the outside temp. At a light the temp would go up, but if it was 30 degress out it would go up to 80 at a light, not the 150+ degrees i saw in the summer when stopped
