the link in that paragraph points to http://www.eaton-design.com/mustang/mil/
which gives me a 404 error - so does anyone else know how to build a MIL eliminator?
p.s. what the hell is a MIL eliminator?M.I.L. = Malfunction Indicator Light = Check Engine Light
The MIL eliminators are(basically speaking) a bundle of resistors and wire that plug between your O2 sensors and wiring harness to tell the PCM that the sensors/cats are working correctly.
When you gut the cats the O2 sensors wouldn't read correctyly(if I understand it)so the PCM triggers a check engine light(MIL).
