Default Huffer Won't Huff...

Hey Guys!!

A while back I was having split personality problems with my '05 SRT6 Roadster. It would run like a bat out of hell one minute and no so great the next. Thanks to help and education from some of you I decide the intercooler pump had crapped out and installed a "big johnson" and that woke it right up. All was good.

Today I took it out on a little trip. She was running great until after I completed an interstate cruise of about 35 minutes averaging around 80 mph. Got off the interstate and noticed the usual oomph wasn't there. When my car loses the huffer it doesn't run bad...Many people would be satisfied. Its still fairly quick, just not "spooky quick" like it should be. On the way home I stopped by a local parts store and got them to pull the codes....And there were none.

I'm wondering if my problem was the intake air temp sensor all along. Maybe the added capacity of the "johnson" made the failing sensor indicate a "safe to boost" intake temp. But as time went on the sensor continued to deteriorate and is now indicating a high intake temp.

Any of you fellas experience anything similar? Anybody ever have the intake air temp sensor to fail? If so did your car throw a code?

Thanks in advance.-Rusty
