Default IAT bypass chip?

Has anyone bought one of these chips from Ebay yet? They are really just resistors that bypass's the Intake Air Temp sensor and fools the computer to think its 32 degress outside! Do they work and has anyone had any problems with using it. I have a 1995 GT.

why would you want that? it would make you run rich ALL the time, untill it fell to 32 deg or lower outside....sounds pritty stupid to me, i mean, unless you like wasting gas and going slow...er.

This would do very little for power.

It would also mess up the timing and fuel calculations.

The computer needs accurate info from the sensors to run the engine efficiently.

Can you provide a link to this product?
I have not seen one before.
