> A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors h...

But what do they have to do with when it comes to the fuel system in a car?

Voltage = current x resistance

the dsm injectors are a much lower resistance then a “peak and hold” i beleive, and when you just throw saturated injectors in a honda, the current is much greater going to the ecu, it will run with em in, but in time can create heat in the ecu burning it up,

make sence? or no?

yea i understand that part of it all and low and high competance and all that but do they just supply power to the injectors?
