Resistor Mod?
I recently had $10 to flush down the toilet, so I went on ebay and ordered this mod that would supposedly increase horsepower and gas milage. While my logic tells me that makes no sense, I was curious.
What came in the mail were instructions with a 3.3K Ohm resistor taped to the paper. Instructions were to unplug the IAT sensor, put the resistor in the wire side, and tape it off.
I did this, and it seems to have provided a little extra boost, But what I am wondering is What is this actually doing to my engine?
Comments? Ideas?
