Where is the sensor for the air temperature located?
My reading is off 3 or 4 degrees celsius and I was just
wondering where it is and is there somewhere else
I can locate it so it gives a more accurate reading?

I noticed my temp gauge was very slow to react when leaving the garage at 65 degrees and going down the road at 40 degrees it took at least 25 miles to drop down so I inspected the sensor and decided to remove the foam from around it and now it reacts by the end of the street.

I did the same thing today, and the response to changing ambient temperature was MUCH quicker. Is this sensor used by the FI computer for engine management also, or just the outside temperature display? that would screw up mixtures if it was that slow to respond to temp changes.
