    It says all it does it tell your ECU the temperature of the air is colder than it is, therefore advancing the timing and adding more fuel, id say its probably the same as all the other crap and its just a resistor. I wouldn't bother mate.

    Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it.
    Beau Duke: Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it.
