I have a S4 T2 driveline and the haynes manual tells jackshit about it.Is it a critical part of the system?Need some info on it.



Thanks

I believe it's only for idle rich/lean adjustment. The FSM is far superior to Haynes or Chiltons.

yah the haynes or chiltons are paperwieghts. the variable resistor sets your idle mixture, and diagnoses vacuum leaks

So can I dissconnect it then or do I need it for my engine to run?

I'd say you need it if you're using the rest of the stock electronics.

OK,I will be running the stock ECU and electronics(minus the rats nest>.So I guess it needs it then.



thanks

I'm just thinking that it would default to something (probably full rich or lean) and that might be hard to get around w/o a safc or something. That's probably a "best case" scenario, it might cause the ECU to do other funky things.



I like that.

another one of these low price kit places 199 for front, 429 for whole kit, anyone has experience with these guys?

i used the ballist resistor to mount my intake bracket lol variable resistor is the same as thebalist resisitor right

no, I believe you are referring to the resistor pack that is used to use low impedance fuel injectors on pre 87.5 fc's. the variable resistor is near the boost sensor next to the air intake tube on the NA S4, little black thing with a hole on the top, and arrows painted on it saying R and L at the ends.
