i think you should hook yourself up to a resistor, so you can resist asking dumb questions.

It's not a potato chip. It's an electronic component that doesn't let electricity to flow through easily.

the idea behind one of these resistors is that you plug it into your intake air temprature sensor and it adjusts the reading to the ECU to tell it that the air coming into the engine is acctually colder than it actually is. the effect of this is that the air/fuel ratio is messe with dumping more gas intot he engine becasue it thinks there is more air going in. THis is really uneffective becasue if there is not the correct amount of air then the engine will be to rich and not give you a huge increase in power. at most it may cause a slight decrease in power and an increase in gas consumption. and with prices these days who can aford to have gas being used in excess.
