New O2 simulator found

[chdesign]

I know this has been a topic of discussion and I have found another O2 simulator that runs about 45 bucks but takes engine RPM throttle position and all that into consideration. go to this link Simulator It shoudl work on our proteges from my conversations with Lake Effect. I willbe getting one soon to find out. I mean what do I have to loose excpet 50 bucks lol

Please keep us posted and let us know how it works out

Yeah, I think Chooch posted that one some time ago. Thanks for bringing it back up. That one would really be a bithch to search for. (Not joking!)

Just found out its used to work in conjucntion with a O2 sensor in place not one that has been removed completely. It could work from what the guy is telling me by putting a 1K resistor between the 2 heater wires to create the resistance the ECU wants to see and then use the simulator....i'm not sure if I want to use this one or the casper electronics one.....any input guys.

Awesome man thats the same one that I'm looking at.

Here are the wiring details.

O2 Simulator Wiring
Red: +12V
Black: Ground
White/Green or Green: Secondary O2 Singal to ECU
White/Blue or Blue: To Throttle Position Sensor
White: RPM Source

Protege Specific Wiring at ECU Pinouts
Switched Power: Pin 71(white/Black) or Pin 97 (White)
Ground: Pins 24/51/76/77 (Black)
Throttle Posistion: Pin 89 (Brown/Yellow)
RPM: Pin 48 (Violet/White)
Secondary O2 Signalin 35 (Yellow/Blue)

Additional Info
A 1K Resistor will need to be placed between the 2 heater wires so that no CEl for the heater on the O2 will be thrown. All of these Wire locations are AT THE ECU not the O2 harness. This devices is designed to be wired in at the ECU pinouts. I will be ordering mine in the next couple of days.

Ok, so how does all that go together??

And what is the point?

 

[chdesign]

watch the ECU wires to the simulator wires. This is a piece that will come in handy for people who eliminate the 1st cat and will throw a CEl due to this this includes turbo people and NA people who put headers on like the AWR or any other full length header. This will make a signal that makes the ECU think the cat is there and working properly so that no CEL comes on and the ECU doesn't go into limp mode.

Ok...I forgot the header issue...

Craig, just let us know if this O2 Sim work fine!

The cool thing about this one is that it uses an accuall RISC Processor and not just a 555 timer. It accually "simulates" a normal working O2 sensor.

NEAT!!!
