stumpy2268 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hi people can anyone tell me what the power resistor actually does that bolts underneith the airflow meter on a 3.5 efi? Adds essential ballast to prevent the vehicle pulling to the right during motorway driving ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I don't know of a resistor fitted there unless you are talking about the large module with the multi-pin connector (9 pin approx). If so then this is for the injectors and reduces the voltage to them as they don't take 12V. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clbarclay Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Its basically 8 resistors in a box with a multi plug. 1 resistor wired in series to each injector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 yea thats the thing they were throwig a load out the other day at work......... Can't be much that could go wrong with them which is probably why they had so many. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
