What did he say? Again in english LOL

Not positive but have you checked the voltage/current running through there. The resistors you have are 1/4 watt which is not very much. If your coming close to 20mA which i wouldnt doubt the resistor could burn. For something I built with LED's i'm using a 15watt resistor pulling about 800mA. I know youll be pulling much less than that, but those 1/4 watt resistors are very weak.
Just something to check if it fails.
Just realized, 1megaohm, you could probably just leave that as an open circuit. 1 megaohm is almost like infinite resistance in that sense.

I was going to get a tuner for my car but I bought it already with a bunch of mods and I do not know what all was done to the motor and MT would not recommend me getting a tuner unless I could find out what was done so I just went with the MILs. I have had it checked and it says that there is something to do with a CAT deficency or something. more or less it was because the CATS are not there. I guess I will try my hand at making my own and see how that works.
haha

Why not? I think it was pretty cool that he actually did the work himself. Soldering stuff isnt that hard, but its nice to be able to say you actually did it yourself instead of paying someone else to do the same thing.

The current generated by the O2 sensor is VERY low, less than20 mA at 1.0V max = 0.020W--a 1/8th Watt resistor would work nicely.[/align][/align]Making these was quite common some years back, here's a link to a write up I did in 2004 and revised/republished in February of this year...[/align]
