I have seen lots of questions about how to make your own MIL/CEL Eliminator..
Well its really simple!
Tools Needed:
Wire Cutters
Soldering Iron
Solder
Electrical Tape
1-M Ohm Resistors 1/4w 5/pack 271-1356 (Radio Shack part #)
1-uF Tantalum Capacitor 272-1434 (Radio Shack part #)
Adjustable Wrench
RadioShak carries both the 1/2w and 1/4w it's the 99 cent resistor however either one will work. but go for the 1/2w first.it'll last longer under voltage.but the wattage really doesnt mater.
Step1:
-Pop Open the Hood and get a look at the 2nd Oxygen Sensor
-There is a clip..Push the clip in and pull out the Male-Female Connection
-Using Adjustable Wrench Remove the Oxygen Sensor
Step2:
-Go somewhere you can use your Soldering Iron
-Cut the Black Wire
-Remove the Sheathing on the Grey wire to expose the Copper Wiring Underneath
-Grab you 1m Ohm resistor and solder it into the Black wires you cut earlier
-Grap your 1uF capacitor and solder it onto the wire that you unsheathed/exposed & than solder it on the connector side of the resistor
-Grab your electrical tape and make sure you do a good job covering all the conections
Step3:
-Reinstall using the reverse directions in step 1!
Typical install time is 15-20min depending on your ability to solder!
ok, its one 1-m ohm Resistor and one 1-uF capacitor.... I hope this simplifys this a bit. the 1 is the designation for each component. RadioShak carries both the 1/2w and 1/4w it's the 99 cent resistor however either one will work. but go for the 1/2w first.it'll last longer under voltage.but the wattage really doesnt mater.
side note: as with any electrnic mod. u must reset the comp. for this to work once its installed, best way...unhook the batt before starting this mod....that way you wont forget.

also good if your running catless, hollowed cat or cat is bad and you dont wanna spend the $200+ to replace it... then just hollow the cat and follow the above!
the above works on Ford and Mazda only, perhaps I should have specified that in the instructions, various manufactures use different electrical requirements to control pcm codes.

You mean cut the black wire and solder the resistor into it then solder the capacitor from the grey into the black wire on the connection side of the O2 sensor and not the cat side.
The "wires" confused me as there is only one wire. Thanks for the how-to anyways, worked great.
I am going to make this but do i completely remove the sensor from wires or leave the sensor connected. I have armorcoated flange and no bung hole for sensor to go into. so i need to know if i leave sensor connected and then ziptie it up or is the sensor completely removed from car? hope somebody can help and yes i realize how old this thread is.
Dead Thread bump....likely installing a header w/out cat.
Anyone still watching explain the wiring better? sounds like the black wire w/the resistor is connecting to the gray wire w/the capacitor somehow...wiring is not my forte.
attached a pic of what they 'stang guys use...should work?
I don't think you should eliminate your Mother-In-Law.
