it sounds like you bought an ebay chip aka resistor.
The theory behind it is that on a dodge or mitsubishi they have an intake air sensor that is an independent sensor in the intake. it also doesn;t have a ground to it. the resitor gives it a fixed value when you insert the resistor into the harness for the Iat Sensor. that's a horrible description but I've played around with them in my dodge.
On my contours I had wired an adjustable potentiao meter inline with the Iat but it didnlt do much except kill milliege.
the theroy is the engine sees the colder air and increases fuel and timing to compensate but it usually doesn;t get you that much more timing and too much fuel.
you can get resistrs in a pack of 5 for 1.99 at radio shack.
