Talking Re: Resistor for IAT
Some see a half full glass...
Others see a glass half empty.....
Then there are the Lysdexic engineers like me that see a solutition to a problem that has had me going coo coo, a short trip all the same.

I have been under the hood for a bunch and trying to solve a fuel problem that I CREATED INTENTIONALLY and have yet to solve to my satisfaction - so far. My car runs well but Iam so far off the fuel map that it is not funny and the C keeps throwing codes at me while Iam testing the latest and greatest mod.

This old thread and the description of the operation of the resistor c/o yanks smell has me thinking, WOAH if I add a padding resistor in parallel like the ebay thinggy, the ecm will believe that the air incoming in is COOOLLDDDD; thus tricking it into giving up more fuel and possibly solving my own delimma and getting this thing to run well enough to get to Carlisle this summer. Woopie. May be a solutition, just have to get the car off the trailer long enough to test drive it and see how the alteration really affects the ecm.

So there may be some good of this thread - other than the humor it has injected to the ebay myth.

OH by the way if you are at all interested, the cat toilets really work, I just unloaded my 3 electric self"cleaning" ones for the last time. The addition of the plumbing and such takes a bit of work but it is self cleaning and washed automatically. More time for tearing the C apart and adding mods. TAAAAADaaaaaaa.

Enjoy, Woody
