Really? It's just a friggin resistor and it will not give you more performance or fuel economy. It will just cause a CEL and empty money out of your wallet. And it could throw your engine far enough off tune that it blows.

Why do we get a couple of these resistor mod questions a week?

Oh and to answer your question, hook it between the positive and negative leads of your battery. If it catches on fire then it wouldn't have worked anyway, if it doesn't catch on fire then it definitely wouldn't have worked.
