M.I.L eliminator necessary?

[blkstangman88]

i heard the M.I.L. eliminator was needed with o/r x-pipes, is this true?
i ask cuz my "check engine" lights on and its saying my o2 sensor is bad.

Yup, you'll need the MILS. They help re-calibrate the A/F ratio...or so I think.

You will need either MIL eliminators or a customized tune to get rid of the error code.

I needed them with the bassani catted X pipe so you should get them.

youll need them to get rid of the SES light. The light has no negative affect though

 

[mustanggt3685]

I thought when the light comes on that it makes the engine go into "limp" mode?

Mine came on after my o/r h-pipe. I put on some MIL elims and reset the battery and it went away.

Your car doesnt go into limp mode because they are the rear O2's. So with MIL's you are just getting rid of the light on the dash. Tho when I bought MIL's after a couple days driving the light would still come on and I would have to reset computer. I fixed it with the Diablosport Predator. It allowed me to turn off the rear O2's.

Only vehicles equiped with OBDII (96-up) require MIL eliminators because they have O2 sensors after the cats. Most likely the cause of your 88's check engine light is a bad primary O2 sensor.

You are talking about a 4.6, right, not your '88?
