Today I went to the fair here in Brenham, TX. I had the car pretty heat soaked from driving slow looking for a parking spot. Was at the fair for about 3 hrs. When I came back out the sensor was reading 48C, I backed out of my spot and in under 30 secs of slowly leaving the temp already dropped to 40c. Got on the highway and it quickly dropped to 33c and held there. I remember with my sanded down stock sensor relocated to the elbow, if it was heat soaked to 48c it would just stay like that. Low speeds would take 10 mins to come down. Highway would drop it faster but still took way too long. Nothing like this new sensor. I was also able to make the temps increase on the highway just by letting off the gas. In mere seconds it would go from 33c to 38c then drop back down as I got back on the gas. So glad I switched the sensor out.
