robin wrote:Right, but the wire resistance should be <1 ohm no matter what kind of wire you're using and the resistor is in the K-ohm range, so the difference in small vs. large gauge wire should be much too small by comparison to the resistor that's being used. Unless of course you're using a 1-ohm resistor to produce the midpoint ;-)

1k resistor.

So even a 10 ohm wire would represent just a 1% change in the overall resistance of the circuit - hard to believe that's where your problem is/was?

Everything you have said makes perfect sense..

I dont know is the answer.All I do know is the car is producing significantly more power than before.. 8)
