any one heard of taking the wires from the intake tempeture sensor and wiring them together so there would be no resistance and fooling the ECU into thinking the air temp is cold?

could you actually do this without any other modification? and would it be safe? i've thought of doing it and running a switch to it to switch if off during normal driving.
i know you can do it with a resistor, but would it hurt to straight wire it?
would my ecu just think the sensor is bad or anything?
my car has much more get up and go when i first start it cold than when its hot.

btw, if you do have to have a resistor what resistance would i need? i got alot of old computer parts, im sure i can get one off there lol

what do yall mean by moving the sensor? are you plugging up the hole on the intake manifold for it?

ok, well i tried to use a 2.5ohm resitsor off a circut board i had laying around and the ecu took it, but the car seems noticibly slower for some reason..
