The colder the better.
My SHO keeps making more power the colder it gets. The -30 degree temps we've been getting lately have made this thing a beast. The only problem is that traction is non existant with the extra power and hockey puck hard tires.
I think you remember incorrectly. And no gas and oil doesn't freeze at -40. There are places in the world where it gets that cold and people drive cars.Originally posted by silvapain@Jan 21 2004, 12:41 AM
If I remember correctly, the IAT will cause a MIL if it registers a temperature below -40F. But at that temperature, the oil and gasoline will be frozen anyway, so who's gonna be driving their taurus in that?
can someone please translate this to english?Originally posted by Postmortem@Jan 20 2004, 10:28 PM
beast? Engine is working 500rpm more than it does on normal temperature. It is not that is overheating that you need to cool it down. I say everything below 32F is cold.
Code 113 - Intake Air Temperature sensor open - IAT reporting -40F outside temp.Originally posted by 1fast97+Jan 21 2004, 07:37 PM-->QUOTE (1fast97 @ Jan 21 2004, 07:37 PM)<!--QuoteBegin-silvapainI think you remember incorrectly.

Alchohol is mentioned because it allows water to mix with gasoline (gasoline is a petroleum product, if you don't remember). The alchohol doesn't freeze, it's the water. All of this was stated before you made your smart alec response. Don't be a jerk.Originally posted by BMWevo600@Jan 25 2004, 05:28 PM
hey everyone do u know what anti-freeze for gas is its alcohol, if i do remember from chemisty that alcohol does not freeze at any nautural temp other than what can be made in a lab... hmm yeah freezing gas thats a good one![]()
But beer typically has anywhere from 3-6% alcohol. The rest is just water and hops and barley and whatever.Originally posted by detroit_raver@Jan 26 2004, 06:53 PM
i've had beer freeze on me, and it wasn't 5 or below. it was in the freezer. i think thats a higher tempature...if not... i'm stupid.. and forget everything i just said.![]()
