A guy told me that if you unplug the connector to the air temp sensor that is located up near the oil filler neck and oil filter, then place a wire across the connector your ignition timing will advance allowing better acceleration and more power.



Is this true, or will it hurt the engine? I had not heard of anyone on this forum talking about such a simple upgrade. Just curious.
