Temp I measures the air temp just ahead of the AFM -- Temp II measures the engine temp. Temp I is there b/c the mass of air per unit volume changes with temperature, and the AFM only measures volume; while the fuel charge needs to be proportional to the air mass. Later "hot-wire" type *mass* air flow meters measure the air mass directly and I imagine they don't need a temp sender in the air stream. d David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation"
