A ton of people have done that already. Some people actually run two sensors and a switch so they won't have to actually physically move the sensor twice a year.

I've done tons of them.

I don't move it any time. And, I live where it can be 100* to 0*, and it's a sensor not a switch FWIW.

Thanks for the replys. So what does a person gain by moving the sensor? I am guessing you gain horse power because the sensor says the air is cooler. Do you gain or loose horsepower with this? Also has anyone put a resistor across this sensor to gain mileage?
Thanks.
