I just recently purchased a 1995 cobra. when i opened the hood i found a resitor jumpering the black and red wires on my mass air flow sensor. does anyone know what this is for. i took it off and it made my car run rich and throtle could not be touched or it wouyld almost kill the engine. i ask the privious owner and he said he had know idea why it is on there. does anyone here have any idea what it is doing there and if its a mod its self or part of a mod. thanks

Im just thinking out loud here but do you suppose its possible that the risistor was some form of home brewed solution for running bigger injectors or maybe to use an MAF not meant for a Cobra or something along those lines? I have used those "air adjuster" modules before and as far as I know, it pretty much just a variable resistor kind of thing so I assume that it would be possible that the correct resistor could be used to modify the MAF signal.

Yep... I think you're on the right track.
