First off, you are not a Ford Engineer. Ford would teminate ANYengineer that talked like you do. Ford has no engine control design in NY. At 23 and only 1 year out of college at Ford would make you a go-for (at best). You may be a Ford mechanic (at a dealership) and you may be an engineer but you most defintly are not a Ford Engineer.
You say you own a horse, what part of a horse is speaking when folks are trying to understand the IAT sensor input to the ECM and you start a diatribe of magic and foolishness. As you state so clearly, "from what I understand, the engine is run with magic" is correct to you since you seem to have only enough IQ to view the subject as "Magic"; offer somthing of substance rather your verbal vomit of crap talk.
If your so smart, you explain how the IAT sensor functions.
I suggest you take your view back to 5th grade where this sort of crap is cool. GROW UP CHUMP! Help people with their questions or SHUT THE HELL UP!
