Im pretty sure sensors go out at extremely hot temps.
and most IAT sensors weren't made for extremely hot air so they might be getting incorrect readings.
which reminds me of if you put a transistor in the IAT plug it will think the air is cold and you will get better mpg a power until the engine blows. 
By the way if you want to put hot air into the intake just take the heat shield off the stock manifold it gets everything toasty in the engine bay for you. |
In my Saturn they use the same brass covered temp sensor for IAT that is used for the CWT coolant sensor, so I am not worried about failure (knock on virtual wood).
No heat shield, huh? Hrmmmmm, een-tay-rest-ink.
