P 80 Erratic temp reading
I notice when i place my transmitter ant close to the turbine the temp reading start to
rise and the starter will spin the turbine as in a cool down cycle. this happens by the
way when the engine is not running, just wondering if this is normal as otherwise the
engine runs fine.

RE: P 80 Erratic temp reading
yep, totally normal. The RF tickles the EGT probe making the ECU think the turbine is hot (above 100) and it spins the starter to try to get the temp down.
JC probably doesn't recommend doing this for recreation!
