Maybe alter the temp sensor signal so the computer thinks it's cold and runs rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2434198633&category=33598 Anybody know what this $10 resistor does? Maybe alter the temp sensor signal so the computer thinks it's cold and runs rich? That's exactly what it does. You can get that same resistor at Radio Shack for $0.20 or so. To figure out the value, look at the FSM testing procedure for the temp sensor, and pick a resistance value off the temperature chart for the sensor representing 160*F or so (assuming a 180*F thermostat). I doubt it will net 20hp as he says, and it may not work at all, but that's all the guy is selling, a $0.20 resistor at a 5000% markup.

TomoHawk Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 That line about using premium fuel is junk too, unless he means good-quality fuel. Unless you have a high-compression engine, higher octane will not do you any good. In fact, LOWER octane get you more horespower. Octane additives slow the burn and prevent pre-detonation associated with high compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
