Can anyone clear the fog about all these chips i see on ebay that attach to the IAT sensor. has anyone here tried them i'd like to know how they made out?

 

they change the voltage so that it says its getting colder air, adding more fuel, and they dont work wortha crap. i actually think theres a thread devoted to things NOT to buy and thats in it

 

[color=#FF0000]thanks for savin me the money

 

lol np man. but yea, they are bad. in some cases they are literally no more than a resistor that they make u jam in the plug

 

one word - CRAP

usualy they use resistor so that ECU think that engine sucks in colder air, so ECU riches a bit mixture.

But our cars run rich from factory, you will not see a difference.

 

if anything.. your only benefit would be decreased performance and increased gas consumption.. eventually leading to a clogged cat from all the excess fuel burning in it and melting the platinum honeycomb core

 

It's a 4.7K ohm resistor. you can buy 5 of them for $1 at radioshack. Try it out. Dyno it. I butt dyno'd one to no real final results.

 

How about you do a search, I guess everyone's goin easy on ya because you're new wink1.gif
ALWAYS, before you post, search it. About 50% of the time you will find the answer you're looking for because someone has asked it before you, and it will only take you 5 minutes that way rather than making a new topic and waiting an hour or so for a reply (actually, with this site its more like 15 mins or so and you get a bunch of replies lmao.gif we are all RDT geeks!)
