Hey guys. Does anybody have any idea as to how to hook up an airflow resistor to my mass airflow sensor? I just got one but am having problems hooking it up. Any help would be great!

? like restrcition in the intake, or variable resistance pot in a circuit?

It is just a resistor to fool the computer into thinking that it is getting more cold air than it actually is.

you dont hook it up, its garabage and wont add any power in truth it will probably take away some power and in some cases can cause harm to the motor by running to rich

Its very simple to hook up... Just pick any wire under the hood, cut it, and put the resistor in between... will probably get better results that way. Like Papa Roach said, its GARBAGE. If your car is running too lean, it might help you out a bit... for about +/- 5 seconds before the computer overrides it and it goes back to normal. But hey maybe in that time you can win a really quick race out of your drive way...

When I was looking for power, I candy coated my valve cover!!!!!

That would be for the intake air temp sensor, or some of the ebay guys sell ones for your coolant temp. It shouldn't be referred to as an airflow resistor as that doesn't tell you ,the consumer of your airflow resistor, anything.

More fuel won't do you any good without more air, these cars run too rich as the boys say.
