It might. A cleaner signal from various sensors could make for more accurate air/fuel adjustments. 18%? I doubt it.

As for what this does, perhaps it works like noise canceling headphones and maybe a large capacitor to try to even out current spikes & variations. Or something. 18% still seems incredibly ..uh.. optimistic. I wonder why they specify "at least 2 years old"?
