How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

[pr5owner]

Acidbdg, I hooked up the Mil Eliminator just like you said. It was working PERFECTLY, but just recently I through a cel again. I didn't check to see what it was, but I'm sure it's the O2 sensor. What should I do? Do I have to do it over again?

is your o2 sensor just hanging there? or is it inside a bung? and how many kms did you drive before it come on?

All of my o2 sensors are plugged into a bung. I don't know the exact mileage I've got with the eliminator in, but I know I've got well over 200 miles on it.

I know for sure it's the mil eliminator because I let Sukegirl_mp3 use my headers. Her car is completely stock and she threw a cell about 1 week after we swaped. I don't know how many miles she put on her car though. I just want to know if I need to redo the mod or what not so when I take the headers off of her car, I can fix it before putting it into my car. Thanks.

Get the code! The chances are:

1. you are getting a new cel relating to something else.
2. problems with your current wiring of the fix!

well here is how it goes

Code p0140 = bad connection broken contact somewhere
Code p0241 = bad components resistor is a short, cap is dead, etc

Sounds like a problem with your wiring...

I suggest..returning it back to stock..and make sure you really solder the connection really well (aka heating up wire than adding soldder.)
Than resetting the ecu...see what code you get!

if you get the catalist insufficent whatever code..than you know there was something wrong with the parts you picked up!

G/luck

p0140 is no circuit activity detected, as in bad solder job, broken contacts
p0241 is warm up cat below threshold, (cat is not doing its job) which means components are bad and not cheating the system

 

[acidbug]

My bad...sounds like you understand yo problem! Need to solder better!

Hey guys keep your eyes peeled, I shoud have pics and DIY up tonight for re routing the o2 gauge for the dp hole without cutting any wires! I repeat moving the o2 sensor without cutting any wires an without getting close to anything hot!!!

anybody know where to get an 02 bung? I need 2 to weld onto my new downpipe. Or at the least what is the thread size and i can try to locate one.

actaully it's really simple..just go to mieneke..or any exhuast shop..they will sell cheaper than any hardware store!

Actually, you can go to a parts store and get a spark plug extender or something like that. I went to advanced auto aprts and got a pack that had 2 in it for like 4 or 5 bucks. I don't remeber exactly what they are called, but it has something to do with a sparkplug. You just have to cut the end off so you only have the part with the threads.

they are called spark plug anti-foulers. i have them on my msp w/ corksport exhaust. use the 18mm ones and just drill out the bottom of one of them with a 1/2" drill bit (do not cut it off) and screw them into each other. it creates a chamber outside the main exhaust fow for the o2 to get a proper reading. suby guys have been doing this for a while with no cel/mil.

Thanks alot! Everybody here is so damn helpful!!!

sorry one other question, i just called radio shack and he wanted to know what wattage of resister i need. anybody tell me please!

I used the 1/4 watt ones. There's a pic of what I used on page 3. I'll have one in the mail for ya tomorrow.

That's right, the anti fouler. I cut mine off so it sits in the exhaust like the stock one did, is this going to cause an issue? I was told to do this by an exhaust shop. I figured I could use the other one for my WBO2.

Were did you get the anti fouler from? The guy at autozone was no help.
