Just making sure you disconnected the sensor before checking the resistance
-- it will prolly read low if it's hooked up (but I have no idea how low,
that depends on what it's hooked to).

In general, a low resistance reading would make the system think that the
intake air was hotter (hence less dense) than reality, which if it had any
effect ought to make the fuel charge a bit lean.
