i bought a black magic mod chip, its a small one that has a small wire on both ends and its smal and black in the middl eof the two wires. i was wondein if anyone could tell me where the IAT sensor is on my cobalt 2006 ls 2.2l? i very much apprceiate it
thanks kyle

 

...oh goodness. put on your flame suit.

 

haha how much did you pay for it?

 

even if you paid $2 for it you got ripped. I wouldn't even think of splicing something into my cars wiring harness.

 

You got ripped off! Never buy "mod chips" or anything like that on ebay. Its nothing but a resistor.

The funny thing is they say it connects to your IAT which used to be a seperate sensor on previous makes and models, with the cobalt its intergrated into the MAF.

AND DO NOT TRY TO WIRE IT UP.

Plus you should have read the seller reviews, I bet at least 4 said it was a scam.

 

are you in the special olympics???

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo u foooooooool

 

wow...... yah just wow. you should have been on the forum before you bought that resistor chalk one up as a loss and do some homework next time

 

This poor kid probly won't post ever again because of you ********

 

Guys come on... everyone has to start somewhere. You can only learn by making mistakes. At least he posted on here first before he started cutting.

 

dude pleas post again we are just trying to edjumacate the masses about the scammers out ther ... u sir have fallen victom and i hope u dont get that near you car... it will make it run way rich and screw some major **** up

 

someone hang this kid if he hasn't hung himself yet!!! hey btw i sell those things out my basement if you no anyone else wanting to buy them..or if ya need like 7 more..i heard if you have 8 they add like 72 1/2 hp and 6 trq!!!! its worth it man cause i only charge 180 for each one!!!

 

his name is Jeffy.....lol The Ringer is a great movie.

 

When the **** did we get ice cream

 

lol you guys are awesome, mean, but awesome

 

I didn't get no ******* ice cream!

but yeah.... to the OP, sorry for your loss on that "Black Magic"

 

You fell for an ebay scam. That "mod chip" is actually just a resistor. They claim it does all sorts of things but in reality all its doing is tricking the computers sensor to make it think that it is at an optimal condition such as a specific temperature. However its not actually running at that. In return your cars computer is making the adjustments for fuel and so on to run with that tricked condition which in return actually hurts you on such things as fuel mileage or anything else they claim to improve

 

flame suit on

 

guys, this is not a stupid question for a beginner... lots of cars have legitmate chips that DO increase hp... a friend of mine put one in his trailblazer and picked up 28 hp to the wheels... so don't bash someone for something like this... if anything, maybe he should have done a search, but that's why he asked here...

 

Yea guys yall have had enough fun at this poor guys expense.

Its alright man dont be ashamed to post again. I too fell for the ebay "chip" several years ago when i had my Z24.

Most wont admit it but before they knew better they at least gave them a second glance and thought about it.

Just remember next time if it sounds too good to be true it usually is (and that applies for many many other things on ebay as well). Just before you buy something be sure and do your homework first.

Hope we didnt scare you off man.

 

i bougt this like 6 months ago not knowing a bit of car sense. and maybe i was in the special olmypics, that besides the point lol. i read the reviews. it read like it was a good product. but i was odvious wrong. DAMN IT EBAY. well now i know. and by the way i wore my flame suit to the special olmypics. oh yeah lol. thanks for the opinons. by the way , what would be the cheapest way to give it more power?

it will take more than that to scare me off

 

this man came prepared anyhow airbox mod is cheap and there is a how to on it...cheap and efficient..

 

well if u do some searching around u'll find that the easiest and most effective mods on the market for our engine is intake and catback. now u could just get an aftermarket muffler if u can't fork for the catback, but i suggest saving your pennies cause its worth the extra cash as everyone who has one can agree. and my friend thats it for "power"

 

Sorry for all the flaming. However, you seem to have a great attitude about it. That's awesome.

It looks like you got the point to not install that garbage. Too bad you can't return it. I have closed the thread assuming your question has been answered. PM me with any questions.
