I need to extend some wiring.
In the past ive used resin core solder and heat shrink tubing with electrical tape and wiring loom over it. Is this the correct way? Will it change readings from sensors like the TPS ignition coil because of the rosin core solder? |

A proper splice should add minimal resistance to the circuit. If it was a high current circuit it could be a different issue, but for a sensor circuit, a few extra feet of properly sized wire and a good solder connection should be of little consequence.
