Default Re: is the air temp sensor (in intercooler) hot closed or hot open?

Neither, sensors are NTC's, negative temp coefficient, high temp= low resistance, low temp= high resistance, generally somewhere in between 100-2000 ohms. 0 ohms indicate short, infinite ohms mean open sensor. Get the Bentley.
