I was thinking about buying that off of ebay myself. What did the kit come with ( need to know)? I've been told a resistor from radio shack will do the same thing!pat

I put a 4.7K resistor on my IAT connector and it did show the inlet air temp to be 57º. I hooked up my scanner before and after and it didn't show any timing change either at idle or a steady higher rpm. Just when does the trick advance timing? The IAT without the resistor and connected to the sensor showed 82º.
