i just installed my o/r h pipe and also a set off bbk mils but the check engine light came on os i checked it and it says i'm to lean. is this going to effect how the car runs and what can i do about it

need to have your car tuned. a lean car likes to burn stuff up so be carefull. i would take it to a shop soon.

Hash06

but it says its lean because the o2 sensors are messed up because i have not cats or am i wrong

Yea its because of the sensors. I have MILs too, and I didn't want to believe they really sucked so I got them.

Well, they suck. As soon as I can I am having my dad's friend at his dealership use their tuner and turn off my sensors for me.

if it told you the reason it was lean because of the o2 sensers than im not sure. maybe the mils are bad.

the mil eliminators are failing.. one or both may either be bad or not plugged in all the way.. I would unplug them and then plug them back in making sure they are seated correctly.. then screw the 02's in all the way.. I have the steeda mil eliminators and have had no trouble with them at all. You can still drive your car fine with the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on but the car will eventually go into a "safe mode" of sorts which will retard the timing and take away some hp.. it wont hurt anything but will not drive as nice...

well does anyone know where i can go to get them turned off. i'm in springfield mo

shadowfoxx

you can turn them off with a handheld tuner like the predator.. other then that I'm not sure.

Hash06

but i don't really have 400 dollars for a handheld tuner

like I said .. you should first just double check the mil eliminators you have on to make sure they are on correctly .. if they still give you a problem I would complain to the place you bought them and see if they will exchange them with new ones if they wont ...just get the steeda mil eliminators.. they have never given me any problems and are a lot cheaper then $400.........seeing as how o/r pipes are not legal it's not like you can just take your car to ford and have them turn the 02's off.
