Title: Living the life
Post by: Lunker Larry on February 02, 2022, 10:09:53 PM
Here's a pic of my dashboard at 6am 22 Jan when I was packing to head south to Florida.
Just a tad chilly. For our non metric friends, Fahrenheit and Celsius meet at minus 40.
Of course my check engine light decided to come on just as was leaving. Figuit was just due to the cold. It thawed out in Virginia and shut off.
My current view is the second pic and don't worry, although not in the picture a beer is close at hand.

We'll. Tried to post pic but no good.
Temp was minus 37 that morning. Now I'm sitting in a lanai watching the sun sparkle off the water in the 81degrees.

We had a hot spell here last night in the Sierra Nevadas of California, Larry —

19 degrees.

Have a great time!

Best, Fred

Welcome to Florida Larry. We just finished our coldest weather in 10 years. Hopefully it will stay nice for you.

Alright LL! Are you gonna fish in Florida?
Don't know the sport fishing seasons there, but Snook, Tarpon and Bonefish out on the flats seems like it'd be a fun thing, eh?
-37 degrees—Ha! Mighta been onea those sensors on the intake manifold. MAP = manifold air pressure I think, would extremely cold air cause it to be too low?...

I bring a rod for large mouth. Some of the places we stay have them in the lakes/ponds around the golf courses and such. Also a surf rod for the beach. Nothing serious.
And that - 37c equates to - 34.6f

Cool. Never been to F., yet...
The MAP is Manifold "Absolute" Pressure. I was prolly way off, but was wonderin if air that cold would have very low pressure and affect the sensor reading. The MAP helps regulate air/fuel delivery ratio. If it's messing up, you would notice the engine running poorly.
