It's a little wire trick that fools the O2 sensor into believing it's reading correctly, for those headers that remove the cats, and obviously aren't reading correctly....

yeah. it's an electrical fix to those who have removed cats and want the ecu to see the correct voltage from the o2 sensor.

I have a handful here still for sale if you need one. They are $15shipped.

I prefer them to the cheaper non-fouler method because the MIL is a constant fix that will work all the time. The non-fouler just keeps the o2 out of the exhaust stream so it won't read correctly...one is going to work all the time...one is hopefully going to work.

The PCM wants to see a flux reading from the front oxygen sensor (ahead of the converter) and a somewhat flat reading (behind the converter). As the fuel injection system attempts to tune the air fuel mixture as perfect as possible it looks for "crosscounts" The MIL eliminator generates a square wave pattern to the PCM fooling it into thinking you have a regular oxygen sensor.

Yeah, but it's easier to just buy it from Matty.

Anyway, I'm using the spark plug non- foulers on mine because I'm better at drilling than splicing. It's been working fine, but you know, I'm always willing to help Matty make a sale.

the advantage to buying the ones from me are that mine are pre-built, tested, and have a 0-failure rate so far. Also they come with color instructions to make installing them idiot-proof.

I'm not offended though if someone else wants to make their own or do something else.
