Re: How badly does a intake manifold heatsoak on a 8 valve?
Is this a good idea to move the sensor here? What is the advantage, other than knowing your temp values are going to be lower. Genuinely curious as to the validity of this and why it wasn't or isn't done more often.

It makes my hot start a lot easier.

This is good info! Wondering if somewhere I have an issue with my air charge temp sensor since I have this issue now. I have tried just about everything swapping out all kinds of spare parts with no change. My next option is to retime the car with the stock cam gear from the adjustable on it now.

Isn't your issue cold start as well?
Re: How badly does a intake manifold heatsoak on a 8 valve?
Most cars nowadays put the intake temp sensor in the intake tube before the throttle body.

It can happen, but after the car sits overnight it will start right up.
Re: How badly does a intake manifold heatsoak on a 8 valve?
My CSX is cranky when hot but fires up if I open the throttle a bit. I was thinking on running a test as I have a MPFlash installed. I will hot start with a T1 tune to see if that solves the issue.

Mine does it when hot and no amount of throttle helps. Has to be either timing, wiring or a bad new sensor for my issue.
