Need more info.... are you talking about temperature... ie value from DirectScan or scanmaster? .... or are you talking about voltages?

The MAT sensor usually reads around the ambient outside air temp while you are going down the road....... parked in the driveway.... idling..... it tends to pick up some engine heat... and temp will probably be higher......

Yes tempature, at idle i noticed on my turbolink that i was in the yellow. thats about 100-108F. Does that seem normal? I never noticed it in such a high range until yesterday.

Thanks Again

Seems reasonable to me.

Is it mounted at the air filter or near the throttle body? Mine is usually in the high 80's low 90's when the outside temp is mid 80's and mine is mounted at the air filter.
