Default HP Performance Chip Installation

So, I think this may be a case of you get what you pay for. I bought an inexpensive mod chip. It has a single function, to advance the timing 1-2 degrees and adjust air/fuel mixture to account for cold air intake. Problem is, the thing has two wires on it that I am suppose to hook up to my IAT (intake air tempeture) sensor. I confirmed that this is the same as the oxygen sensor that is located on the intake tube, just after the air filter box.

The problem is that the sensor harness has 4 wires. I suspect two are for the IAT, the other two are to detect smog related fumes.

Question is: which two wires is it, and what do I do with the other two - do I need to plug the sensor back in, without the two for the IAT or leave them out. How can the computer not make the check engine light go on if I leave them out or disconnected?

Help please. Thanks very much!

The chip I bought is this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

That thing is bogus.

Don't install it. Throw it away.

Now get a real tuner like SCT and do it properly.

Thank you for your input. At least I didn't spend a lot. Chris, I'll call you're friend this afternoon - thanks for the referral. And appreciate everyone's straight-up answers.

Best to you all.

I think you summed it up well. You get what you pay for.
Call your dealer and check it out with them before you put it on. You wouldnt wann mess yourself up over a $25 part.
