How TO: CEL/MIL Eliminator!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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!

alright this is gonna sound so noobish, but what a MIL? i kno what a cel is but mil got me.

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.

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.

need verification

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.
