Thats your engine coolant temp, different animal. It goes down after 224 because the fans turn on.

Coolant temp is on the dash, what you are saying.
IAT2 doesn't display normally.

If you own an LSJ, now is the time to check, and get in the habit of checking your intercooler pump. It has been my recent observation that A LOT of people with 2006 Cobalt SS/SCs are having intercooler pump failure. This is not unique to 2006, as the pump was the same for all years.
You will need to take off the resivoir cap while the car is running (be careful not to burn yourself). If your resivoir is empty, top it off and look. There should be a constant flow. If you don't see a flow, then you are screwed and need to replace it.
The reason this is SUPER important is that if this pump fails, regardless of your mods, you will destroy your motor. It will not take months, weeks, or days to destroy your motor, it can happen in one pull.
Check those pumps and stay cool!

so your saying that the pump that pushes coolant around the system only deals with Iat2's? i just want to make sure that this pump is not the reason that temps on my normal gauge are going up because if my Normal temp goes up im sure my Iat2's will as well...

engine coolant has nothing to do w/ iat2's

your engine coolant system (what is displayed on the DIC) is in no way related to your IAT2's. IAT2's are dictated by your IC system alone, which is cooled by a system that in no way runs with the engine coolant

Nobody has asked so I guess I will, What is the normal difference between IAT1 and IAT2? I know there is a larger difference between cruising and WOT I'm just looking for ball park figures....

Surely a hot ass engine (with no cooling running through it, mind you) would make iat2s higher... I just dont see how it cant?
If engine a is running at 300 degrees, engine b at 500..
The air moving through it will come out at a higher temp... Isnt that just common knowledge?

I thought the one they called the t-map was the one on top of the SC, and the one that takes the IAT2 temp is the on near #1 on the intake mani.
