PLEASE MAKE THIS A STICKY or Locate to the How To!

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 Resistor ($1 at Radio Shack)
1-uF Capacitor($1 at Radio Shack)
Adjustable Wrench

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 Blue Wire
-Remove the Sheathing on the White wire to expose the Copper Wiring Underneath
-Grab you 1m Ohm resistor and solder it into the bluewires you cut earlier
-Grap your 1uF capactiro and solder it into the wire that you unsheathed/exposed & than solder it on the connector side as show on the Pic!
-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!

Thanks nando...
(I understand you didn't write that, but it's a bit ambiguous.)


What I'm gathering from this is that the resistor gets wired inline on the blue wire.
(what's 1-m ohm mean? 1/1000 ohm?)

And the capacitor gets wired onto? the white wire... but not inline? I don't get this.

this is why I suggest paying the $12-15 to get one made by a certified electrical engineer.

I will admit I'm horrible with wiring and electrical work and the product Brian (Vielster) sent me was perfect and super-easy to install without any confusion.

I know the guy you got that write-up from and I dunno i'd trust $2 in parts and something I'd have to conjure up myself. Of course I'm not so hurting for cash that $15 is going to break me either.

I still have 10-12 of them left from the last batch I made. They work on all sorts of vehicles. Actually put two on my brother's mustang when he changed out his exhaust....(that thing flies...4.6 0-60 and 13.3 1/4 mile).

Anyway, I've been selling them for $14/shipped with instructions and can usually get them out day of payment.

PM me if you're interested

Karen, tell him Matty sent you for free hugs and kisses. Or if this is Scott, tell him Matty sent you for a free "secret handshake". = )
