Last summer, and all winter the intake air temperature has been accurate to within a few degrees of the actual air temperature.  
  
  
  
 However, recently as Spring has sprung in northern PA, I’ve noticed that the intake air temperature is running about 20-25 degrees warmer than the ambient outside air (while driving).  
  
  
  
 I have checked for cloggage of the intake air hose/filter and did not see anything.  
  
  
  
 Does this indicate a faulty sensor? Something else? Thoughts?
