How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

[Nutari]

btw, im at about... 2000 miles and counting with the Spark plug de-fouler O2 mod.. no CEL

i got a questions guys. I got a obx header and got the cel after 100 miles. The 2nd o2 sensor is which one? The one on top or at the bottom of the header?

the one closest to the point of combustion is always/ususally #1, so the one at the bottom of your header is #2.

Oh crap. My soldering sucks, the wire came apart and I've been driving pretty much without a secondary o2 sensor. Lots of black stuff on my exhaust, oddly enough I could reset my ECU and clear the light but it'd come back on at random milage. Car ran like s***, but still beat people, hahah

get it fixed? let us know...

1300 miles with the non fouler and no cel!!!!!!!!

I just installed the CEL eliminator BUT used a polarized capacitor (plus - minus signs on it). I had a CEL come on after 200 km and was wondering if it was because I used this type of capacitor? I check the soldering and it was all ok. I bought a non polarized capacitor and will install it to see if it will make a difference. What do you guys think?

dude -- GO NON FOULER!!!!!!

CEL......... man- send me $5 and I'll make you one and send it out Saturday Morning!!
(i'm not kidding man PM me if you want)
I'm tired of this BS people need to know that non fouler is the way to go!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the middle of nowhere right now, and have access to a soldering iron, and I need to know if there is a difference between a non polarized and a polarized capacitor. Can someone please let me know?

Don't know man. I used the ones in the pics on page 3, they work great. The non-fouler sounds just as good.

 

[acidbug]

I suggest going non polarized...

Non foulers..are fine..but some people just don't wanna go that route..

i passed OBDII emisions with this Mil Eliminator, at the dealer too
visually i should have failed but it's all good

I switched to a non polarized capacitor and no CEL so far (after coming back from my parent's....about a 350 mile trip)

installed new Corksport exhaust this weekend with non-fowler method, and works stupendously. No CEL (alright)

MIL Elim...

Hey guys, this may be way out there, but i found a part on jegs.com that is called an mil eliminator which is a part that actually "tricks" your rear O2 sensors into thiinking they are the front ones which in turns shuts off the "Service Engine Soon" light...the part ran me about $60 and it's in the mail as we speak.

 

[tallrd]

yeah, that's actually exactly what Corksport told me to do when I asked for their opinion on the matter. It seems to be the same thing as the in-line resistor/capacitor method except it's $25 plus shipping, whereas the res/cap soldered in-line will cost you $2.00 and about 10-20 minutes. The piggy-backed 18mm non-fowlers work great if you don't feel comfortable cutting/soldering wires.

I just did this fix after about 7 months of my CEL and i finally got tired of it. Hope its stays off.

 

[JCell]

does the cel fix help with milage?

 

[tallrd]

gas mileage should not be effected by a secondary o2 sensor. It`s just there to make sure something is wrong on the exhaust side of the car. The primary o2 sensor is the one that effects the A/F mix.
Anyone else have the silencer for a CS exhaust? How much of a difference was it?

will this work for a p0171 bank one lean?
