I have seen where a few ppl have talked about making one and it working but how do you make it? what type resistor do you use? Thanks

Take both ends of the resistors and fold them back in half and tin them with a soldering iron. Take two pieces of wire about 3" each and strip each end about 1/4" and tin them also with the iron. Then solder one end of each wire to each end of the resistor. Slide a piece of heatshrink over it and heat it up to seal it. Then take two insulated male spade connectors and crimp on the end of the two wires.

Go out to the truck and locate the IAT sensor. There are two wires to it. ONLY CUT ONE and cut it a few inch back from the sensor. Strip each end back and crimp two insulated female ends on the wires and then plug in the home made PW into it. You can take a short peice or wireloom and put it on the wiring to cover everything and hide it

You can also take another small peice of wire and crimp two male insulated spades on it so if you ever want to take out the PW you can replace it with this straight peice or wire.

Reset your PCM

next time please use the search option

 

Thanks fk1022!

I have been trying to search this for an hour and can't find s#$t. I need a lesson on searching this forum!

 

no worries, this mod has been posted and talked about many times before just glad i could help

 

Nice copy and paste there........... ;-)

 

ya, quick and easy...

 

Certainly quicker than i could have done it........LOL

 

I tried using the search option but didnt find anything except for others talking about it. Thank you though. The radio shack near me didnt have any of the 1/4 watt resistors and they didnt act like they were going to order them anytime soon so i may just get some from ebay.

 

1/4 watt 5% tolerance 4.7k ohms....i got two right in front of me...lol
