MIL sensors

[96Cobracomander]

Am i the only one? or do these things just flat out suck?

i have a stock manifolds off road X pipe 96 Cobra and im on my second pair of these SVE MIL eliminators and i can't shake the CEL and i have had the codes pulled plenty of times and all the codes are for the rear 2 02 sensors...
to make matters worse my inspection is almost a month over due

I've heard of people running O2 spacers with good success, FWIW. May be worth looking into.

I have had them for 2 years with my cats hollow and they work perfect for me, one went bad and I got a new set free from American muscle.

Can't complain! And my check light has never been on besides when one went bad
(My fauly from melting on my exhaust)

I've had mine for about 6 months now. No real issues or CEL unless I really get on it. (I have a gutted catted h)

Are the O2s good?

The sensors themselves still must be good for mils to work.

I have brand new sensors in the reat with the mils.. light still comes on.. gonna have to do a true dyno tune soon

 

[Sn8kebitten]

My CEL still came and went as well when I bought MIL's last year. Got a tuner from bama and it finally got rid of it.

I'm running the 02 spacers. Never had a problem

 

[96Cobracomander]

well i have 4 new 02s 2 up stream and 2 down stream and brand new MILs from 50 resto and im still getting the CEL, had the codes pulled a few days before i put all this in and the guy said all the codes were about the 02 sensors... so these things must really suck

I tried the plug in mils and I also made mils from radio shack parts,from a schematic I saw posted here. Neither worked long for me. I went with the spacers & have not had any problem since.

I have a tuner but used to have MIL eliminators with no issues. What is an o2 spacer though?

 

[STAMPEDE3]

Exhaust leak is possible also.

Spark plug non-foulers

 

[jmsa540]

Link on spacers??

 

[96Cobracomander]

yes im very interested in the spacers, and i do have an exhaust leak (probably from the pipes hitting the ground cuz the car is lowered)

would a small leak trip the 2 tattle tales in the back? even with MILs?

Very possible.

The spacers are nothing more than spark plug non-foulers drilled out for the O2 to fi in it.

The thread pattern in the same.

I also have stock manifolds with an o/r x pipe with 4 mil sensors. I bought 4 but two of them didn't clear the code so AM sent 2 more and the CEL hasn't mocked me since.

4?

As in 2 in use and 2 for spares?

You don't have them on the front O2s do you?

Yes lol as in 2 in use and 2 for spares. Probably should have mentioned that :shrug:

+1. You only need them on the two o2 sensors nearest your cats..
