THe best way to get your answer is go up to your local stereo shop that may have an ohm meter pay them a couple of bucks to put your resistiors together to get your the desired resistance. If you are not within .75ohms you will not get the effect you want

i just did...went back to radio shack....and i was right.....now with the 390ohm the closest i can get is 400ohm...so i hope there a is a range of +- 10ohm....[&:]

Adder is correct on the resistor connections. Two 150 ohms in parallel will give you 75 ohm load. Also if you use 1/4 watt resistors this would be the same as using a 1/2 watt resistor.

Yep....the ± is already in the tolerance spec for the resistor (± x%)...need to get a resistor (or combo setup - series/parallel) that will net 390 ohms.

dammit...i hate soldering...this is supposed to kill the fault code right. not just eliminate CEL?.


IS there a way of knowing if meter is out of calibration?
