It could be off 30 degrees because the under-hood temperatures are higher than outside temperature when the car is sitting still, then can change once the car is in motion. You can try to change the sensor out to see if the reading changes. Here is the location in the images below. The air temperature sensor is interrogated into the MAF sensor.
