what do you think to them?
are they worth it?
i think that it just makes the car use more petrol.. so i dont know if its a resistor or not. 
does it make any difference..
it says its a piggy back chip so i dont know?

well i may be wrong but when i put the resistor in i did notice a slight differecence over 4000rpm but it made no difference to my fuel economy. what it does is basicaly make the car run lean by tellling the sensor its cold therfore throwing more fuel in
( ithink thats right lol )

surely that'd make it run rich - not lean  think thats what you meant...
Sounds interesting... what is the actual name of the resistor? and where exactly does it fit... I'll go to maplins and get one for 20 p if I know what I'm getting.

4.7 ohm resister i think you disconect the air intake sensor and plug the resister in job done (and its bout 30 p for 10 resistors)

They are dangerous and they are stupid.
They make the engine idle higher than it should be. It tricks the ECU into thnking something is happening which is not, thus doing things it should not.
The sensor is there to give you optiumum concentrations of each.....
Think about it...plus WHO EVER SAYS IT GIVES 20bhp increace is chatting bullshit.
