No, they're not really small. They're approx 1.75in long, and 1/5th of an inch wide.

If at all possible, go with the resistor box. The resistors gave me all kinds of trouble and weren't very appealing to the eyes.

For OBD2 cars the "dead end" connector is located under the intake manifold AFAIK

6.8ohm is the number to get. my first inclination was to add the difference in the resistor from a high vs low injector (12ohm-2ohm=10ohm), but it doesn't work that way . if you measure the dropping resistor box in a honda it is 7ohms if i remember correctly. i use 6.8ohm for honda/nissans from digikey.com with absolutely no issues. yes they are unsightly, but they are cheap.

I know how this happens and I searched through a million threads. I tried "obd2 low impedence", "obd2 resistor box", "obd2 resistor box wiring", "obd2 wiring help", etc etc. I scanned through over 80 results more than three times over, rather throughougly before asking. I know how annoying it is to see questions that have been answered over and over again -- I sign on this board and see it everyyy day.

And finnaly, thank you very much -- the thread was exactly what I needed. It's much appreciated, as always.
