Dave, I think you are mixing up the intake air temp sensor (screwed into the
intake air distributor), and the cold start jet's temp sensor (screwed into
a bracket attached to the case).

Incidentally, on earlier T3s, the intake air sensor was actually a crankcase
temperature sensor, screwed into the case next to the auxiliary air
regulator).
