Ok, I know it's :bs: but i had to ask, cuz i wanna know exactly why and what for. its just me.
on ebay, there are those stupid a** little resistor 'chips' you plug into that little sensor, 'fooling' the cars ecm into thinking the air is actually colder than it is,
"The module tells your computer the air coming into your car is at a steady 35 degrees. Even if it is cold out side by the time the air hit your engine it has already been heated up by the engines heat. The module will give you back that lost horse power. This product will modify your stock ECU with a Timing Advance Resistor Mod. Once the resistance mod is installed, the ECU will read that the air coming in through the intake is cold air. This will give you the power that you want for your car without spending all that money.
GIVE YOUR CAR THAT HORSEPOWER YOU ALWAYS WANTED!!"
ok so, let me see if i can remember all this crap... doesnt your cars ecm constantly monitor your cars timing, according to all the conditions that exist? for example, if the air your cars breathing at that time, is super hot, doesnt it pull some timing, to avoid detonation, cuz warmer air provides a better haven for detonation than cold air? (which is why i think you can only run soo much boost in a hot air tr?) so, if this thing tricks the ecm into thinking that air is cooler than it actually is, and the engine gives it more timing, but with warmer air, wont that mess things up? do i have a basic understanding of this theory, or do i need to keep hitting the books. :confused:
if this little thing does do what it says it does, would it only help, with a true cold air intake kit, and a decent octane gas? or is it totally worthless. if its worthless, i wanna know why. no short answers. i gotta learn.
