RE: Bought the 2.4 today
first off slash a wide band o2 sensor never lies...
the map clamp is neccicary due to the map not being able see boost and the pcm freaking out from the boost... it will cause the map to read high all the time causing the car to dump fuel... then you take your foot off and it over compansates when it goes to lean out the car so it dumps tons of fuel then it leans out... kind of a vicious cycle... the map clamp just lest the map see vac and bypasses the boost... mechanical type... or it clamps the voltage at 0-5 volts via a dial... you just dial in where your car is happy and dont freak out... electronic type..

You wouldn't have an IAT sensor if the other sensors didn't somewhat rely on it to give an acurate reading.
Which brings me to the main fk up I did, I used a 3.9k ohm resistor and I'm running too rich,I read on Auto Zones online repair gudethat normal operating temp is listed between700-1,000 ohms at the IAT on the Neon.Iput a 2,000 Ohm resistor so I'm just slightly more rich than stock, nowI got fast starts again and decent fuel consumption and better low-mid and high range. The great news is that I haven't pinged once.

First off I'm running a Map clamp and you aren't 'Nuff said. Your aextremly nice and politedude and90% of the time you have usefull trueinformationbut sometimes you just run off at the mouth withstuff that is based off of somebody elseshearsay.

And It really dont matter if your running a map clamp and I'm not... Facts are facts and shady mechanics are shady mechanics... Wide bands are a MUST, if you want to do it RIGHT.... your way works but for how long???
