For a P0420 a mil-elimnators is to be place Bank one side (firewall) in place of the second o2 sensor (After the Cat)?

I know this fools the Computer in to thinking that the exhaust is cleaning and no cel will come on, However, when you hook up a scan tool and do live readings, How would the monitors behave? As if there is a properly working Cat. or would the post Cat. Monitor still be bouncing all around (uncleaned).

To some it up: Is a Mil-Eliminator detected during Live monitoring?

Oh Also, How are they in visual Detection? They look fairly small.

Thanks, TourEnvy

they can be very small and not easily detected, and they appear to be a working cat, which is why you wont get a cel
 
If you have gutted precats I think or headers, you need MIL eliminators. You can make them or buy them (msds sells them). If you don't, then you should fix whatever is causing the CEL.
 
"Is a Mil-Eliminator detected during Live monitoring?"

No.

"How are they in visual Detection? They look fairly small."

After installing, it looks like you bought an after market O2 sensor with no plug and you spliced the wires together.

"just have to figure out where to get them"

Information in the M&M how to.

the monitors will run like normal, the output of the sensor will look like normal, you will past OBDII emissions testing ... my car did this year :laugh:
 
I said Dallas Mustang. When I ordered the MSDS headers from Marty for my daughter's car he told me to get them at DM. He, Marty, was out of MIL eliminator stock at the time.

I called them to make sure I got the correct ones. Great to do business with and fast shipping too.
 
Thats right LUCA, You gave the wonderful insight! I was on DM, and it looks lke they have the plug in kind for 96 to 04 mustang. It also says: mustang, focus, ford truck, and t-bird. I would think the contour would fit under the "focus" on that list, But ill call to order to be safe.
 
try ebay... I went through there. Then once you splice to install them just make sure you electrical tape it up and make it look stock. Its pretty simple and you won't be able to tell the difference. BTW they have been working for about a year so far... simple stuff so just do ebay its cheaper.
 
Don't know why anyone would buy them unless you're afraid to use a soldering iron or unable to read an electronic schematic. The parts are less than $10 for both. Solder them up, use heat shrink and electrical tape to seal them. Mine have been through our harsh snow, salt, slush winter conditions and still working fine.

Do you mean the "Plug and Play" Kind? :shrug:
