GDMS,

When referring to the "engine anti-ice system", most pilots would call this the cowl hot air, that stops ice building up in the inlet then coming off in big chunks and going through the engine. AFAIK the various probes are electrically heated (like the main pitots) and I suspect would be on all the time, thus unlikely to block unless the icing was incredibly severe. Standing by to be corrected...
