IAT resistor trick does it work to make your car think the air is colder

Fact or myth

It would cause your engine to run inpropperly.
But for better measure lets have the year and model that you have. I don't reccomend that at all.
It also kills your gas mileage.

No definately not.
Making the engine think the air is cooler is not going to make a difference. The only way to make that work is to actually make the air cooler. Hence the cold air intake.

it tricks the ecu to make the a/f mixture richer. This is bad since the accord is already running sligtly rich to begin with.
