Default Fuel Saver?

Do any of you know what does this fuel saver do? I saw several variations on it? Does it work? It seems that it is making the car run lean?

I wouldn't mess with my factory ECU with a $8 ebay part, but if you want to try its all you.

I would figure even if it DID adjust settings to air/fuel, the ECU would reset back to stock over time just like it does to the VAFC.

You should ask the hundreds of honda engineers who designed your car if its a good idea or not. Im sure the guy who designed that $8 ebay part is smarter than them, but its worth asking just in case

I think you should try it. What are you going to loose other than times ? The seller will refund all your money if it doesn't work.

if they can really saved that much gas, the seller wouldn't be dicking around in ebay, they would be paid by multi-billion oil companies and sipping cp. morgan by the bay

Alot of the scams make their money on the shipping charge which is non-refundable. They don't give a crap if you return it or not.

1) Most people won't return it

2) People that do return still pay them through the shipping costs.
