Frank said " I've never seen or heard of that. All that goes through an intercooler is AIR so how does the air freeze?"
It is the water vapor in the air which freezes. When the air is compressed, the relative humidity increses and the water vapor condenses on the cold intercooler interior and can block the passage of air. The intercooler hose "fix" in 94/95 was for this problem but it is not 100 effective for all climatic conditions.
Please explain how a 1994 car would be "covered"???
