It's starting to get hot out again up here in ny. 70+ today and 80s this week. I notice my truck is definitely sluggish on days where it's 75+. It feels like I still have my winter weight in the bed when I'm going up hills. I know that warmer air is less dense and contains less oxygen therefore requires less fuel and the computer compensates by using less fuel. However I believe the amount of power loss I feel in this truck is more than less oxygen in the same volume of air. Is there part of the computer that adjusts timing for warmer temps? I remember reading once that you can put a resister in the iat sensor wire and it will tell the engine it's cooler. However I don't want it to lean out the engine too much which is what I'm thinking it will do. Is there another way around this besides having a custom tune made?I just want to advance my timing a few degrees. Side note my iron duke 2.5 jeep feels like it has no power loss in higher temps. Probably because it can't retard itself. I love distributors.
