there was a thread on this last week, it was determined that it is just a .05 resistor that tricks your ECU into thinking its colder than it really is and advancing the timing slightly.

Waste of money.

You are bidding on an INTAKE SENSOR mod for all models of Mazda RX7 1986+. This is a modification to your Intake Air Temperature sensor

How is it that the sensor will let my engine "breath cooler air". Maybe I'll get a bunch of those sensors to replace the AC unit so that I can breath in some colder air, sheesh.
Or tricking the ecu into thinking the air is colder than it actually is. Aren't we running way too rich already?
