OK, click on this and let me know if this is true, or if this is a Hoax... I'd like to get me one for my car if it is true...

Is this like the Air Temp. Module that SLP sells? If so I already have it..

Yes, sounds like the same thing as the timing tricker.
So many fancy ways to package a 50 cent resistor aren't there?

Shaq...good stuff Colonel.

Go to radio shack and buy the resistor. I tried the TT once or twice. It didn't do anything for me.
