It makes your car think the air is colder than what it really is and so the computer runs it richer than its supposed to. A rich condition doesn't mean more horsepower, but you will surely notice a difference in your gas mileage and the decereased life of your catalytic converter.
its junk, dont waste your money.
and cheap is not something that should said when modding a car

If it looks too good to be true, it is. This is also covered in the sticky.
Be glad you asked here first. You were about to buy a $20 paper clip.

it don't do @!#$ not even give more fuel becuase your o2 will read rich and make it run normal trust me i kno i bought the stupid @!#$ so if u want it real bad to ro radio shack and get the piece for 50c
Your PCM will not be fooled and it will compensate, go jogging a few times a week that will have more of an effect on your 1/4 mile times then this mod ever will

Ive heard of people lengthening the wire to the air temp sensor, running it to the front of the car where the air is always coldest. My suggestion is to design a cold air intake so ur actually getting the cold air the computer is being tricked to believe is there (which is what this resistor does). My homemade cool air intake cost a total of about $160(cdn) in assorted performace and hardware stuff, which made an incredible difference, low and high end.
you spent 160 dollars to make your own intake? you could bought one off ebay for like 50!

ive read your profile. the stuff you have done to your car is fairly cheap
a $20 Ebay chip is not going to give you more power. if Michael Harris
wants real horsepower mods, then he should go for nitrous, cams, boost. even if he does all the bolt ons he is lucky to get 35 hp from that. nitrous, cams, boost is not cheap hence why cheap is not something that should be said when modding a car

LOL the cavalier is slow as hell, go one car down.
and borsty what are you talking about?
i know a chip is dumb, but im just saying find the quality parts for a cheap price, i would have gone broke building my car if i would have paid retail for my parts.
i build my own cold air for about $55 $25 filter, $5 for a rubber tube, $ 10 for a s-10 wiper bottle and about $15 for the 3" bendable albows for the mock up. then i took the mock up to a muffler shop and the guy there had a scrap piece of 3' almoized lying around, and he bend it for me for free.
oh and it is better to spend a little money now then it is to spend a lot later
