i tried this b4... took it off a couple of days later... i just feel the car sort of running wierd... like not smooth... i went to check at dicksmith to check the resistor.. u can get it for like 50 cents or $1.... the same color resistor... never put it on since then...
Umm if you're blowing black smoke, why don't you get a S-AFC or the like and a tune (an older gen non-blue screen S-AFC is only around $100, the tune is more though)? Or even an ECU reset just temporarily to see if that helps and check your air flow meters or whatever? If you're going to do something get it done properly... that said, a full ECU is probably a better option in the long run.
Fooling the ECU into thinking the intake charge is colder and hence denser will cause the ECU to react with extra fuel to compensate for an expected lean condition.
Short term : Doing this at cruise conditions will kill fuel economy (rich), and at $130/lt, thats an expensive resource these days.
Long Term: The long term O2 correction will bring these effects back into line, which will correct the O2 in closed loop back to 14.7 a/f
Spending $50 for the resistor to end up where you started is a waste of money in my book.
