homemade MILS

i didnt use the board, I just put the capacitor and resistor inline... it worked fine

I used this diagram to make mine, but I didn't use the PC board or connectors.

Basically, go to Radio Shack and buy the parts minus the PC board and it might start to make a little more sense. The diagram shows where the parts go in relation to the wires dont really get too caught up in it. I just cut the wires and soldered them back together.

Here is what you REALLY need.

Radio Shack # 2721434 (x2)
Radio Shack # 2711356 (comes in 5 pack)
Black electrical tape
Heat Shrink Tubing (optional, but makes it look a lot better)
Soldering Iron
Wire cutters/strippers
Lighter or heat gun

I think it cost me a total of $6.24 for the 3 itmes from Radio Shack (2721434s, 2711356, and the heat shrink tubing).

I think I have some pictures at home from where I did mine, if I can find them, I will do a step by step write up on how I did it. Havent had a problem with mine in about 6k miles.

Hope this helped.

Might I also make the suggestion you use a 1/2 watt resistor and not the 1/4 watt. Some people experience problems with the 1/4 watt not getting them low enough readings for the computer.

Or you could just pull the "check engine light" bulb out. Works like a charm and is 100% easier and cheaper.
