I spoke with a fellow Cobra owner and He said its relatively easy to make "MIL" Eliminators VIA a few cheap "Radio Shack" resistors? any clue as how to do this?
My car is spitting out the infamous PO174 and 171 codes indicating a Bank 1 & 2 lean code. So guess what...It failed emissions!

Thanks

i made and tested out a radio shack parts unit and it worked. That one had the guts on a strip of circuit panel though. would have been better in a tube of some sort... Heatshrink maybe

I too have used the diy instructions on this site to make them. Cost like 5 bucks and worked perfectly. I even extended the wires while I was there b/c 04's are dumb and have the rear 02's futher forward than the rest and u have to extend the rears. Even a novice can solder it together, just be sure to use good quality solder and shrink wrap to protect it all.

You should get a P0420 and a P0430 if its from removing the cats. You may have another problem...try replacing your front 02s if you cant find any vacuum leaks.

Those are the front O2 sensors and has nothing to do with MIL elminators. Do not try and put MILs on the fronts.
