O2 Eliminator?!

[iLkYsPoNy]

Ok, so I want to put in an O2 sensor eliminator. I've already installed an EGR Eliminator. Where can I get the one for the O2 sensor? I've briefly search and only found ones for newer cars.

Does anyone here run 'em?

What's the general opinion on them?

:SNSign:

There is no reason to pitch the O2 sensor.

In fact it will likely do more harm than good.

What are you trying to achieve?
What are your goals?

Are you using a tuner?

your looking at 4.6 stuff, they have 4 we have 2 so you dont need to eleminate anything.

OBDI cars like ours dont need O2 eliminators, the O2 sensors on the EFI motors just read the A/F ratio not whether the cat is working/there of not. So there is no need for an O2 eliminator, hack off the cats and it may just run a tad rich but no engine codes.

In case anyone does need some, i have one on my truck and its worked great so far, its $20, and also universal.... www.o2simulator.com

well basically.... i want to save money ...

I would've like to save the 60 bucks for a o2 and spend 20 on the eliminator ya know?

the following statement border lines on tech so bear with me....

I'm getting codes for the EGR and the O2 sensor, I bought and installed the EGR eliminator and the code still comes up and it's getting worse everyday. my car sputters and the idle is wacko. the CEL only comes on after driving for a while. it feels like my car has lost a lot of its balls... sucks gas too. my miles per tank went down by like 30!!! so, i dont know i guess.....

Send me a PM, I have a couple O2 sensors with very few miles on them that I'll sell you super cheap.

The relay package I had to buy for my fms wiring harness came with new O2s so I used them and now I have these damn near new ones sittin around taking up space.

You are getting a code for O2 sensors, and you are wondering why your fuel economy is bad???

Replacing the O2 sensors will restore your MPG. Using an O2 simulator will maintain your current crappy mileage.

Repair the EGR. There is no performance benefit to eliminating it. In fact you will likely loose MPG when eliminating your EGR.

Replace your O2's. Running bad O2's will not only screw up your CL cruising/idling fuel metering, but it can also mess up your cold start fuel metering.


Fix the codes the right way instead of trying to save a penny.

How does it go...???
Pennywise, Nickle dumb ?

The money you spend on the O2 will be worth it in the monetary savings in fuel.

I'm with Jason, and who can pass up Pacecar's generous offer.

FWIW, for diagnostics only, you could try running with the O2's disconnected. The car should run decently like this, as opposed to the puter receiving bad O2 input (doing more harm than good).

Good luck.
