You can put a resistor in place of your IAT that is a "sensor trick" but those of us here that know better do not recommend "tricking the ECU".

^^^To answer your question. The reason some people do it is to make the ECU think the air is colder than it is, and colder air is denser air therefor the ECU will tell the injectors to spray more fuel. So they think that they get more HP from doing this. I say it will do nothing in the cold and make it run rich in the summer. A car that runs rich is actually losing HP.

car runs too rich as it is, no need to risk messing up the engine for something that will only cause problems.

I plugged this into my nonsense translator and it ejected the following statement:

"Thanks for the input. I can, however, attest to the success of my theory from my own experimentations where I used a pop can, my old window wipers, a random fuel pressure regulator (in case of...stuff), a fitting laying around, and one clogged injector I found in my couch cushions, and something else I will fail to describe for you now.

I exercised with my buddy Lance while we watched The Matrix. No need to look here though, I may not go a lot but I'm proud of my ****'s."
