Default Another 5 cent modification! Resistor Tweak.

This is in a similar vein to the smoothing the throttle input mod of a few days ago and looks to have come from the same stable!

Interesting something else to try!!

This makes me think of the hot air mods. Is the increased mileage due to the hot air, or the car reading that hot air is entering the intake?

You know, the former moderator got on me for suggesting that _this_ Julian Edgar is _the_ Julian Edgar, of automotive tuning fame, but I don't care, this guy is just damn good. Everything is validated by testing, well written and easily understandable. Love that site - Pat

Hey, has anyone tried this yet? I know I could use a little more oomph on the hills.
I often need to downshift from 5th on Interstate mountain grades.
Could the resistor be wired in on a bypass ? This could allow an easy switch back to the stock sensor during cold weather.
