It behaved exactly the same with the factory lid, as I recall. Just hadn't put all the clues together then.

Right, they don't look exactly tiny - and don't see that many places it could hide...

Hmm - 2001 got the pre-LCD clocks. No temp display that I'm aware of.

You might even be able to swap the actual sensors if the cleanup doesn't improve things. The air temp sensor is underneath the dash but you probably know that if it is the same for the 2V 'ers
Ah, never had to mess with the air temp (IAT) sensor on anything; don't know where it is

Good suggestion, thanks!
