270 ohm resistor, whats it for? Options

[tomh]

I have a 2.0 GA in my 72 with the proper ECU and harness.Do I need the 270 ohm resistor on my head temp wire?It runs a little chuncky on low end but has lots of rev and power on top.Will the resistor help with smoothing out the whole range of power.
Why do some systems have it and others do not?

If it is there then whomever put it there thought the engine needed a little richness in your fuel delivery across all bands not just idle.. You can take it off by unplugging it and see hows it runs without it.. It is a good item to have around in case you ever need to richen your fuel mixture/.. Some one put it there for a reason, ..

It is a factory stock part on 1973 2.0


very nice link below with djet parts and descriptions what thhey do with what set ups ect..

so if its running lean this will richen it up?could a lean condition be causing the low end chunckyness and bad idel?

the 270 ohm resistor adds resistance which in turn adds to the richeness, taking it off would lean it out across the whole spectrum, there is also an idle control knob on the ecu that leans and richens the fual mixture just at idle though I do not know if you have one on your ecu.. you have not provided aany info other than GA in your engine code and that you have a 270 ohmn resistor.. would help to know your mps part# the ecu part# and the year of your engine and weather it is stock ect..
