1. An ionizing device comprising: a housing unit comprising a bowl and a cap, and wherein the bowl and the cap each have an interior surface and an exterior surface;an electrode attached to the interior surface of the cap, wherein the electrode includes a hollow portion and has an interior surface and an exterior surface, and wherein a portion of the electrode is covered with a metal oxide coating;an air intake port;an air outtake port, wherein the air outtake port is connected to a vacuum line;a third port; anda power source connector, wherein the power source connector connects the electrode to a power source, and wherein the power source connector passes through the third port. 2. A device for lowering emissions of an internal combustion engine comprising: a housing;an electrode mounted in the housing;wherein the electrode comprises a mesh structure;wherein the housing includes an air intake port and an air outtake port;wherein the device is configured so that air enters the housing through the air intake port and passes through the mesh structure and exits the housing the air outtake port and is thereby provided to an intake of the internal combustion engine. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein the mesh structure comprises a frustoconically shaped structure and wherein the device is configured so that air entering the housing enters the bottom of the frustoconically shaped structure and exits through the side wall of the frustoconically shaped structure. 4. The device of claim 2, wherein the device is configured so that the air exiting the housing includes a plasma. 5. The device of claim 2, wherein the mesh structure includes an oxide coating. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the mesh structure comprises bronze material coated with aluminum oxide. 7. A method for improving a performance of a combustion engine comprising the step of installing an ionizing device in an engine compartment; wherein the ionizing device comprises: a housing unit comprising a bowl and a cap; and wherein the bowl and the cap each have an interior surface and an exterior surface;an electrode attached to the interior surface of the cap, wherein the electrode has an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a hollow portion; and wherein a portion of the electrode is covered with a metal oxide coating;an air intake port;an air outtake port;a third port; anda power source connector, wherein the power source connector connects the electrode to a power source, and wherein the power source connector passes through the third port;wherein the installing comprising the steps of: attaching the device to an engine compartment;attaching the air outtake port to a vacuum line that pulls into the engine;attaching the air intake port to an air filter;attaching the power source connector to a power supply; andgrounding the device;wherein the vacuum line is a constant flow vacuum line; and wherein the combustion engine utilizes an electronic control unit to adjust the fuel/air mixture. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the device includes a mounting bracket, and wherein the step of attaching the device to the engine compartment includes connecting the mounting bracket to the engine compartment. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of connecting the mounting bracket further includes grounding the device by attaching the mounting bracket to a metal surface in the engine compartment. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the step of attaching the air intake port to an air filter includes installing a connector to attach the air filter to the air intake port. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein the step of attaching the air outtake port to the vacuum line includes installing a connector to attach the vacuum line to the air outtake port. 12. The method of claim 7, wherein the method is configured to improve engine performance by accomplishing one of the following: lowering emissions, improving fuel efficiency, reducing turbo lag, and reducing engine deposits. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein lowering emissions includes lowering one of the following: hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the method lowers nitrogen oxide emissions.
