Take a ristor that has about a .2k ohm resistance and plug it in to the plug that goes to the IAT sensor. the car will use less fuel. and still read a temperature that is in spec and wont throw a code. it worked for me. but since it leans out the fuel dont drive very hard it could be hard on the engine.

I started at 24 and am up to 29 with AC on, and it didn't cost me anything additional either...I just fixed a bunch of the broken stuff on the car. I needed struts, so I lowered it on Teins and KYBs. I needed tires, so instead of 205/55, I went 195/65 and aired them up to 42. I needed a tune-up, so I went to Toyota and bought the right parts. When I do my exhaust, I will go 2.5" with as little restriction as possible, only enough so I don't kill the car.

I used a resistor before I got e-manage...but it was for more fueling with my mods. Those 294s sing when you rev.up to 7200rpm on a modded ECU haha.

I should also mention that I drive no less than 90 unless my daughter is in the car, then it's 65. My speedo is als 5% off now, so my 29 is probably closer to 31. Oh well, it's all good.
