Performance mod help
UPDATE ON MOD, I just put a 3.9k 1/2watt resistor on my bros 96 civic and
it did make a difference. But with my car it set off the engine light. But i got an 3.3k resistor but 1/4 watt and no light, Is the watts making a difference or not? Also should the idle speed be alittle higher? My car is a 96 Honda Accord lx non vtec. |

Re: Performance mod help
Only the resistance counts. The power rating does not make any
difference. The only reason you need to be worried about the power rating is that you don't want the resistor to get damaged from overheating. The current through the IAT sensor comes from a regulated 5V supply with a series resistor inside the ECU. A resistor power rating of 1/8 Watts is sufficient under any relevant set of conditions. A higher power rating will not be of any benefit, but will not do any harm either. amsjsj wrote: > > I just looked on ebay some guy said hes selling 2watt resistors.

Re: Performance mod help
Well see whats wierd is the 3.9k 1/2 watt set off the engine light, but the
3.3k 1/4 watt did not and they are both in the range of the resistance. See what i mean? But maybe it was just to close or something?

Re: Performance mod help
3.9k should be well within the allowed range. Any chance you had a poor
connection when you tried the 3.9k? amsjsj wrote: > > Well see whats wierd is the 3.9k 1/2 watt set off the engine light, but the > 3.3k 1/4 watt did not and they are both in the range of the resistance.
