DIY: 02 sims
if your wondering i did not do this...i got it from another forum
I tried to post to How-to, guess i dont have rights, Please move if ya can
I have seen many guys ask about these after others throw out hints of them in various threads, so i figured id make a quick write up.
The purpose of these is to keep the check engine light off after installing headers or o/r mid pipes. Alot of guys use the plug in mil eliminators, which are fine, but are $60 bucks and these are $3.
What you need:
1.HELP brand spark plug antifoulers, 18mm, part number 42002. ($2.99 at most auto parts stores. I got mine at autozone.) You'll need one pack, which contains 2 antifoulers.
2. 1/2" Drill bit and drill or drill press.
3. Vice, or vice grips and a firm grip.
STEPS:
1.Install new headers or mid pipe.
2.Using Drill or drill press, drill out inside of the anti fouler till it is 1/2" alll the way through, try not to mess up the threads. CAUTION!!! It gets extremely hot while drilling.
3. Use Some anti seize, and put it on the threads, then install anti-foulers into mid pipe/headers where the o2 sensor goes. tighten down
4. Put anti-seize on o2 sensor threads and install them into the newly made anti-foulers. tighten down
5. your done. Go buy some beer and celebrate with all the money you saved. If for some reason they dont work, i have seen guys all over the internet stack them, some drilled out the bottom one and some didnt, either way still way cheaper.

Installed: (ill get some better pics up ) not a cobra, but you get the idea

How? I don't understand the concept. Does it go in the exhaust pipe? Does it shield the sensor from the exhaust gases so that it doesn't measure the oxygen in there but rather just inside that little shield?
The pic of it installed isn't large enough to see how it's supposed to work, and there's no explanation, so I don't get how it works.

Thats actually fairly interesting. Has it been proven to avoid CEL's without Cats?
