Economy is not increased, many a true word spoken in error.

All it's doing is conning the ECU into cold starting, it's snake oil.  It will run rich, bore wash and wear out, it will drink more fuel too.  The only reason an engine goes better when cold is that cold air is denser.

Made I larf though :lol:

 "A 3W 4k7 Ohm resistor is not a tuning module, keep your money, avoid this ebayer"

"ok for a 3w 4k 7j resister....from possibly RS components"

"Buy 10p resistor(type 2W 4K7J) and stick it in the IAT sensor on your air intake"

"99p resistor from Maplins"

"lota money for a 4k7 3watt resistor, but i guess paying for knowledge"

"£5.70 for a 20p resistor, BARGAIN!. and it didnt work"

Sounds like the automotive placebo effect to me - I bet if you did a study involving two cars that were identical in everything apart from exhaust note (same bhp/torque, just one is noisier) you'd get a large percentage of participants claiming that the noisy one was faster!  :lol:
