IATs Up Very High after Replacement of Front Bumper
Quick question -- I have a Dinan CAI and a Helix FMIC and recently got my front bumper replaced with a brand new one (had to wait a good week and a half). Anyway, went to see the car Friday and it looks great.
I have a P3 gauge and was noticing the IATs didn't drop down at all. Ambient temp was around 95-100. Anyway, the IATs kept climing to 200 (never seen them more than 10 degrees above ambient with the Helix FMIC), so I knew something was wrong. Drove the car right back (only drove a block or so) and told them that perhaps they blocked the Dinan CAI (as I couldn't see the cone filter near the front duct). Well, I emailed the shop the Dinan CAI instructions and they took the bumper off today and verified that the CAI was in the right place. Now I'm thinking that a temp sensor may be damaged? I don't know which it would be because I think the ambient temperature sensor is fine. But from whatever sensor the P3 gauge monitors the IATs may be damaged perhaps? Maybe its the piping on the Helix FMIC (thought I don't know why a body shop would have messed with that?) Any ideas?

Update: Nothing was wrong. I'm an ass and was looking at the coolant temp on the P3 gauge. Had the body shop on a wild goose chase.
