I personally don't believe that stuff unless it was done buy hondata. So No I don't think it works.

I asked somebody about this once a long time ago:

They told me you use a 5 ohm or 10 ohm 1/2 watt resistor on the intake air temp sensor wire. The higher ohm resistor changes the (perceived air intake temperature) to a lower temp.

Im not going to risk F'n my car up to find out if that's true. Besides, you'll get worse mileage most likely.

I'd like to take this opportunity to deny any responsibility for anything bad that happens as a result of trying resistors based on my previous post.
