Ok, its for a Ford - but!

How could this actually work? Any chip will require a power supply to operate, so that's 2 wires  leaving no wires left for the magic to come from .......  :D

It'll be a resistor. Probably in the coolant temp sensor, causing artificial overfuelling. Obviously, only short term increase on cars with lamda control.

Aye, that has same effect. Until the ECU learns its overfuelling, and trims it all back.
