rrm cel eliminator

when my cel light came on a couple months ago, I thought another mechanic had stole my cel eliminator (it happened once. . .) Much to my shagrin? when I was last under there - there it was. Just like before. only I've had cel for the last 4 months! oh well. I had it checked just to make sure it WAS the *ahem* warm-up catalytic converter - and now it's just a nice nightlight when driving at night! the thing sure worked at first - not sure why it stopeed. oh well.

It's not perfect. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. Like already said, try a second one.

You need two of them. One is not enough.

I have one and it works. I guess not every situation is the same.

Hey ambystom01 where did u put urs, i install my header 3 days ago and my cel came on friday, i called RRM and they told me that to put the eliminator on the test pipe not on the header, I just changed it about 10 mins ago and i turned my car on and there it is again, do you guys think if i get a 2nd 1 and put it on the header is should work

you do not need to put the eliminator on the header. put it in your 2nd O2 sensor bung be it before the 2nd cat or in a test pipe.

if this doesn't work get an electrical MIL eliminator... the one i have from mileliminatorsonline.com works great since i rounded out my 2nd O2 sensor and couldn't do the mechanical fix. trouble is that it seems their page is gone... they had the best device since i'd heard from evo guys that it works and that the wires were color coded. i can say that it does work and the wires were color coded for our car, too for an easy install.

do you also mean two? I think that would definitely work - it at least makes sense. thanks fer the help. Next time I got a spare $20 I'll get another one. Like I said I'm kinda use to it now anyhow. ..
