CAN I USE 100 OHM INSTEAD OF 75 OHM
i'm doing those resistor thing to eliminate those egr/emmission codes..
will this be a big deal or not it says to use 75 ohm half watts...i was going to use two 150's twist them together to create 75 ohm but it would be 1 watt instead.

watts is ohms/volts. so if you end up having the correct amout of ohms, and your volts stay the same(12-13.xx, from battery) they yes it should still be only .5 amps... but let some one else back that up before you go w. it. im in my automotive electrical class right now and just got done learning that stuff.

not if you connect two 150's together...that's twice the resistance so it brings it down to 75ohms.
ORIGINAL: dimebag
what do you mean 150s? if you mean 150 ohms, then no, it creates 300 ohms... which will not work.

two 150Ω resistors wires in parallel will create a 75Ω load, if you were to wire them in series, it would create a 300Ω load. so yes, two 150Ω resistors would be fine.
However, you can turn that stuff off in the ECU with a TwEECer

it was only a dollar...a hundred pennies...i'm bored so wtf i'll try it...that's good to know about the tweaker...
also linna wants that lap top

also to some here that have these same issues,and are not ready for the programmer idea...i can help those who are unsure about if this works or not.
