Would your gas mileage decrease because your computer cannot compensate for extra air flow from new cold air intake?

There is a theory that the cold air is actually bad for fuel economyIt has to do with the idea of air density at different temperatures changing the energy loss from the compression of the intake charge.Basically at low throttle settings you will get better economy if the intake air is hotAt high power settings you will get better power and economy with cold dense air from you cold air intake. So under heavy work conditions the cold air intake helps, puttering around with no load its going to be worse.The ComputerThe computer will turn on the check engine light and set a code if it can't adjust to the change, so I discount this idea.

Why does an 89 corvette crank long when cold?

If you are meaning that you are having to spin the starter longer to get it to crank on a cold morning then more than likely the coolant temperature sensor needs to be replaced. There are two sensors relating to the temperature of the engine. One gives a signal for the guage and the other for the computer. The one for the computer should be right beside the thermostat housing. It is what tells the computer that it is cold and the computer adjusts your fuel for a cold start.
