Heat Soak Symptoms
« on: July 26, 2012, 05:54:12 pm »
Can anyone tell me the symptoms of heat soak??

If the air filer hose had snapped the brackets near the front grill and was pointing down towards engine - in 30 degree heat and traffic - would this cause heat soak?

Low rev seems ok bit slow but over 3000rpm it's not pulling at all or revving that much. No data logs as having issues logging - just wanted to know the heat soak symptoms

The main symptoms of heak soak are loss of power and reduced throttle response, but this is caused by the lack of power. Warmer air = less oxygen per given volume = less 'bang' when fuel is ignited  :happy2:
