How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!
- Thread starter acidbug
- Start date
The little one was mine and I have mine back under the car about were your feet sit. I have the O2 extended due to my setup, so maybe you would want the metalized one to help with the heat resistance if it is closer to the exhaust. The pics I posted are still working great for me and it has been a couple of months, I think.
so basicly -- all three can work as long as it says (1-uF Capacitor ) the difference is -- if i understand right-- how well they stand the heat -- right ?? and it also has to be non-polarized ??
thanks for the help -- i just want it right the first time -- i hate trouble shooting

i do know that non polarised is the way to go because you can not hook it up the wrong current directionbonesmp5 said:so basicly -- all three can work as long as it says (1-uF Capacitor ) the difference is -- if i understand right-- how well they stand the heat -- right ?? and it also has to be non-polarized ??

I don't mean to double post...but if this helps...

I used an electrylitic capacitor...it's small, has a blue cylinder shaped figure, about 1/2 inch size...as far as hooking up the ohm resister...use a .5 WATT, that's what I'm using, and it's been over 150 miles on my car w/o a cel, with the new header on.bonesmp5 said:which on am i suppost to use --- this one http://www.msprotege.com/vbb300/attachment.php?attachmentid=13069
or an Electrolytic capacitor
i assume they both work but one will handle the heat better
this is so confuzing -- some say that this type of this will work but others no that type wont work -- you need this type of that type ----- Damn some one needs to up date this section of the How-too
all it says is a 1-Mohm resistor and a 1-uf Capacitor -- so we go down there only to find that there are at least 3 types of each to choose from and we are left there scratching are heads going ---- OK which one ?? --
So then we come home to has for help in the forum and all we get is different answers -- one says this type works and the other says NO this type works and some say you need a 1/2 watt while others say they have the 1/4 with no problems ----
so can you see how this can be confusing -- i dont want to trouble shoot and if the Mil really works than in the How-too part it should list EXACTLY which part to buy --
anyways -- this is just me venting from not having only one answer -- so peace out and have a good weekend

can doing the cel fix cause poor gas milage ?????
i had a full take before doing the cel fix -- when it got empty i had only driven 240 miles after the cel fix -- i allways get around 330 when empty --- so why such a big change -- maybe because i reset my ecu ?? well i filled up today so we will see if this continues -- hope not

i purchased the capacitor and the resisitor that is specified in the wiring diagram on the first page....That will be sufficient, right Acidbbg?

I showed the short dude behind the counter at a local electronics shop and he turned around and 10 seconds later he turned around with stuff that looked exactly like the peices in the pic on page 3

Actually...I have done many tests when it came to Cel & Gas mileage..and when i had the CEL...my gas mileage dropped..noticeabley..But after the Fix...within 2 Tanks fills..i noticed better mileage. Don't forget that the ecu learns..so everytime you reset it..it has to relearn maps and such.bonesmp5 said:can doing the cel fix cause poor gas milage ?????

Ok, Just to get is strait. I bought the 4-2-1 header for my Protege. All I have to do is install the cel/mil fix but also reset the computer. Then I may experience some less fuel economy but as soon as the comp learns I should be fine, Right? Will this happen or does it depend on every car or does it depend how heavy your foot is or maybe all of the above. Well all in all I hope it all works well for me. I am waiting for the Header. It should be in by this weekend from Cali. (headbang) Can't wait.
