I have not noticed any difference in operating temp since having my IMS retrofit installed. Of course it is nowhere near 100 degrees ambient air temp here.

I should get my car back today or tomorrow after having mine installed and will be on the lookout. I am in Jacksonville, FL so the air temp here is very hot. yesterday with heat index it was 106 and when I drove the car to the place with the AC on, I did not notice anything out of the ordinary on the temp.

I wonder if something else is failing?
