Default o2 sensor

Hey guys, I've been riding around with my o/r H for a while now but I've been ignoring the CEL for the o2 sensor. So now I'm looking for an o2 sensor simulator to help a little with the fuel consumption. I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get one for cheap or if I could rig the existing sensor to trick the computer into thinking everythings cool.

You don't need O2 simulators (which are costly), as the rear O2 sensors have nothing to do with engine control--all they do is monitor the catalytic converter efficiency and set of the "MIL" if they think the cats aren't working right.[/align][/align]MIL eliminators, which you can make yourself, will get the SES light off; however as the rear sensors have nothing to do with engine control there will be no effect on gas mileage...[/align]

I used the same link as the previous post and made the MIL eliminators in about ten minutes. It cost me a little over 5 bucks. Easy to do and does the job. Good luck.
