    I tried a 1/4 watt 100 ohm on my Acert and it didn't work, fuel temp read -25 or something like that. What engine are you using it on?

  5. So what the heck does this "fuel wire" do? Would it work or benefit my little 3176??

    i had lost top in boost,wouldnt pull out but about 27lbs boost,im getting closer to 30 now. idle is smoother,better mpg and it pulls alot better
     
  7. Interesting. I wonder if I could do that mod on the 3176?

    My 3 wire has the resistor in line with one of the wires. Cant tell what wire it is as its sealed up water tight by the guy that made it for me and I aint gonna cut it open to see witch one.
