it doesent help out with starting, it just raises the idle speed to prevent washing the cylinders when idling a long time and i can be turned up to help warm up the truck faster when it cold.

When the switch it flipped on it actually decreases performance. it acts like a valet switch. thats why some people mount it out of sight.

oh okay. well seems kinda like a waste. i mean my truck heats up fine and i don't let anybody drive my truck. and it never idles for a long time. conclusion: i don't need it
