I wonder how accurate the sensor is anyway, my new one read consistently =
10*C
higher than my old one did ( around 110C now). With the crappy wires it h=
ad on
it, it should have been the other way around. I think it's more important=

figure out what's normal for your car and worry if it deviates from that
value. Either that, or stop revving the thing so high, that'll push the t=
emps
up, and that's the fun of owning them in my opinion. Cathy
