    heat soak/hot soak is a term in the automotive area the refers to period of time right after you shut an engine down after usually a log run. The temperatures usually rise above the normal operating temperature and will generally put engine sensors in a stressed situation
    usually ignition or F.I. Hall effect ignition sensors are a good example.but the period is very short as the engine start's cooling off very Quickly

    Thanks DW, I did that and I came up with nothing. Of course I didn't spend a lot of time searching either. I thought all you grayasses would know...:roflmao:

    obill, thanks for the explanation. I understand it completely. Makes perfect sense and I found out that I did know what "hot soaking" was, just never heard it called that. :cool:
