MIL elimantor/ O2 cheater - Focaljet

**slverfocus13** · 09-20-2007, 10:37 AM

I had ordered a MIL elimantor from you guys and it ran great on my car then my emissions light came on and i had it scanned and it said my cat was missing so i ordered another from you guys and now the emissions light came back on after about a month of daily driving...why is it that evertime i buy a MIL elimantor a couple of weeks it "burns out" or gets "fried?"

Seems alot of people have that problem on all different kins of cars. So its not just that specific

well do u have any idea what it could be? Would it be my O2 sensor?

I dont think its a sensor problem. I just think that the eliminator is a far cry from having the sensor diabled in the ECU. Im not sure how the eliminator works. I would assume that its just a harness with some resistors in it to trick the ECU into thinking that the Cat is functioning properly. With all that heat, plus resistors get real hot anyway, they probably just go bad after awhile. You have to remember its for "Off Road Use Only" Not intended to be daily driven.

depends, i have a duratec and had a problem at first because i had them on the wrong sensor, also did you get the ones for the dura by accident?
