Those chips are a rip even at $5!!! All those people do is put an A.I.C. in the refridgerator, cool it to 32 degrees and then you take an OHM's reading at the AIC. say if you get .33 Ohms, you go to radioshack and buy a package of 5 .33 Ohm resitors for .50 cent and plug it into the wireing harness that connects to the AIC. All this does is tell the computer that it's 32 degrees inlet temperature so your motor runs richer and it advances the timing a little because the ECU thinks it's 32 degrees outside. It'll lead to poor gas mileage, eventually fouled plugs, and probaly mess up your O2's over a period of time which I believe are about $60 a piece. Is it worth it! Just remeber, you always get what you pay for!
