Attached. All I've done since this is disable VATs and remove a bunch of the MIL codes for Bank 2 oxygen sensors and Evap Stuff.

If the highest you saw was 120 while sitting in traffic, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. 20-30 above IAT1 (ambient) is normal for regular driving as well. You might get a little lower with better heat exchangers, but the laminova core design isn't the best for an intercooler and likely will be the limiting factor.4/25/2023
P2138 error code has not come back since re-soldering the connections. It has been a few days and many short and a couple more than 20 minute drives. One thing I have noticed, I lost the cruise control function. I'm going to dig into that more, but I think either a wire or sensor has let me down. One issue down, two more pop up.
Finally figured out how to get the Intake Air Temperature 2 (IAT2) function to work on the Torque App. It doesn't work on the free version, just FYI. One thing to note, you need to leave the units in C and then the app converts it over, if you selected this in the settings. I'm not sure what a normal or ok IAT2 temperature is supposed to be. The highest I saw was 120 degrees F, that was sitting in traffic in 70 degrees F ambient temperatures. As soon as I started moving it dropped back down. The difference between IAT1 and IAT was 20-30 degrees F. Definitely going to look into this more.

- Connect the Wideband to HP Tuner
- MIL Light on with no codes (stored or pending)
- Make shifter brace

- Lost Cruise Control
Is there a number I should be concerned with?If the highest you saw was 120 while sitting in traffic, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. 20-30 above IAT1 (ambient) is normal for regular driving as well. You might get a little lower with better heat exchangers, but the laminova core design isn't the best for an intercooler and likely will be the limiting factor.
On a hot day with spirited driving and long pulls you might see them creep up a little higher, but as long as they recover fairly quickly while cruising it shouldn't be a concern.
I think I saw 130-150 IAT2 and 160-170 CHT on my mustang after installing a whipple when I was stuck in traffic with 95ish ambient temp. I was getting nervous, but every time I move a little bit temps dropped. Everything turned out fine from that. I would say if you are hitting temps like that on a regular basis it would be of concern and likely something isn't working correctly in your coolant circuit.Is there a number I should be concerned with?
IAT gets tricky. While driving normal, IAT1 should be near ambient temps. Sitting still IAT1 will climb with all that hot stagnant air comes in. Under boost, IAT will climb quickly, but should recover once you let off. Something like track or autocross, IAT2 going to climb quickly and take a while to recover (with stock intercooler).4/25/2023

I do have all 3 switches. I replaced the top on one the clutch as I had that sensor already. The not pictured clutch switch is working, the car will not start without pressing it in.Just a reference pic for the 3 switches
I do have the cutout in my splitter to allow the IC to get air. What needs to happen to make the fan a Pusher type? Is it as easy as swapping the wires or just flipping the fan over?With the splitter on the front, you are restricting some of the ic cooling efficiency, but on the street, this still shouldn't be a problem. At least it hasn’t been for me, but I rarely goose it on the street. On that note, make sure you change you ic fan from a puller to a pusher, if you have the cutout in the splitter. This will help. And as ross said, the Ecotec will protect itself when the temps climb too high.
I’d have to look it up, but it sounds right from what I remember. I had a problem with my cruise and it came down to the buttons Df provided to go around the instrument cluster. As you know with the accelerator issue, there’s always the possibility of a wiring issue.I do have all 3 switches. I replaced the top on one the clutch as I had that sensor already.

The Top brake sensor with the grey plug and a missing plug port, I assumed was working as when I press it my lights come one The smaller bottom brake sensor, I may just change to be complete. It seemed to work though. It gave continuity when not pressed and lost continuity when the button was pressed in. Is this right?
it’s a double edged sword we have tossed around for a while. A puller fan should work the best (I recommend a stronger fan though), but some have referenced a lot of cabin heat and such. I switched my ic fan to a pusher to get all hot air out from under the hood. Like a solid flow of air in, through, down and out. Kind of how the naca ducts work.I do have the cutout in my splitter to allow the IC to get air. What needs to happen to make the fan a Pusher type?

In my mind, the puller was pulling cool air (ambient temp.) from under the car. Wouldn't a pusher be pulling hot, stanky air (about 160-180 F) that is trapped behind the radiator through the IC? This is more for discussion, I'd like to hear the reasons as I'm sure there are.
