How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

How big/small should the resistor and capacitor be, physical size wise? They have a couple of different ones there. I got the 1/4 watt resistor and the 35wvdc capacitor. They are real small and from what memory serves, they are the same size as the ones I put in my friends WRX. I'll take some pics later, my battery is dead.
Check out this pic. You can tell the size by comparing it to the staple in the package. I'm pretty sure the capacitor is correct, but the question is the resistor. The 1/2 watt one is a little bigger, like this size plus another half of it added on. What would happen if you put too small of one in there, would it do any damage? Zoom in if it isn't too clear of the size.acidbbg said:

To hook to the gauge itself, you will have to route through the firewall on the driver's side.
The A/F gauge itself usually has a positive (+) 12v wire, a ground (-), and the signal wire (that goes to pin #60). Find a suitable +12v source of ignition so that when you turn the ket to on, the gauge comes on. Anchor the ground (-) wire to chassis ground. In other words, find a screw going through the metal body of the car under the carpet under the driver's side kick panel, and ground it there with a loop anchor connector. The signal wire connection has already been discussed above. I hope all this helps!!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
This may be a dumb question but I just installed the Ractive header and it has a bung for the first O2 sensor (the one on the right hand side if I am correct). The other O2 sensor is on the left hand side which was after the precat, and there is no hole for that anymore. I have no place to put this sensor now. For now I put it by my Injen intake. Now Im not all that smart when it comes to wiring but...do I need to have this sensor pluged into the exhaust to use this CEL cheater??
Yeah dude, the O2 HAS to be in the exhaust. It is doing absoultly nothing in the intake. It measures the air fuel ratio in the exhaust that has come out of the motor and "tells" the ECU what it is so the ECU can then add or remove fuel to keep it in at the 14.7 AFR it likes in closed loop.CANMP3 said:
If you have the first O2 in the header, then put the second one behind the CAT. If you don't have a CAT, then remove it and use the MIL eleminator to keep the Check engine light from coming on. Chas may need to answer about not having the O2 in the system to use the MIL fix. I never had a header, so I don't know.

Yeah..that's right..the + side..ddin't matter when i installed it!Bigg Tim said:
I had to do the same thing with the head i had on my car..a while ago..there was no bung hole for the 2nd o2 sensor..so i just wire tied it out of the way...and didn't get any CEL!
Chas
i wrapped my o2 sensor up in electrical tape, should i just leave it open in the air? cuz i threw a cel but the cel took ALOT LONGER to come on than having the o2 sensor not plugged in, does the o2 sensor need to be hot as well? or does the computer ONLY read o2?acidbbg said:

Yeah..you can just leave it in the engine compartment...just zip tie it..so it won't fall/rattle!pr5owner said:
Not sure about the heat..i basically zip tied it to where the male-female connectors are...Not sure why you are throwing a cel...you shouldn't keep the o2 sensor unplugged..it will def cause your car to run rich...very rich!
Also don't wrap entire o2 sensor up in electrical tape..it's not needed..(rlaugh)
Did you solder all connections?? If not you will throw another cel!
