Im going to be doing this mod but i cant find the freakin diode's around town and im not spending 10+ bucks on diodes around the net. Anyone know of a elec store that has them .. radioshack doesnt have them. Thanks!

 

Do not fear the internet. It is your friend.

It would also help if you posted whereabouts you were, so maybe someone might be able to suggest a shop. Since you didn't, I'm going to assume you live on the South Shore of Massachusetts and recomend You Do It Electronics just off of 128 in Dedham.

 

they are all over the electronic outlet stores on matheson blvd east and dixie rd. like 6 stores on the north row between those intersectons have them.

 

im gonns guess he lives in columbus, Ga. how far is that from savannah? i think it is a wasys but i got like 8 of those diodes left over from when i did it.

 

Huh??? I've never seen a radioshack that doesn't carry basic electrical components.

 

hes right, radioshack does not carry them, i had to find an independant electronics store. i found 6 on a whole stretch of rd within a block of eachother.

 

Yea columbus is correct w000... its like on the middle of ga/bordering alabama.. im like 110miles southwest of ATL! Radioshack carries 5.1v and up..

 

About 10 cents each at http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/indexd18740.htmlor http://www.futurlec.com/Diodes/1N4732pr.shtml. Just Google for 1n4732.

 

ya i know they are 10cent each.. but u have to order a min of 10 bucks..

 

Just go into radio shack and ask for a 10k ohm 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistor...This is what you are looking for...They sell them in five packs for $.99

This tricks the ecu into thinking the outside ambient air is 0 degress pretty much all of the time..The ecu will respond by re-aranging the timing and fuel curve slightly to compensate for the "cooler" air temp..Quicker throttle response and slighly more power is what you can expect.
