Default MILs are ****

OK guys it began about a year and a half ago when i bought the bbk o/r h pipe, and thie mil elimenators. The check engine light wont stay off. I have sent back one set of mils. Well i really dont understand is why it keeps coming on. I will pull that battery and the check engine will stay off for about a week or so but then i will just be sittin at a stop light or just drivin normal and she will come on. you would think that this would happen when i am drivin realy hard but know it happens at random times. It will stay off for a coupple days then come on, ill shut it off and it will stay off almost a week and then it is back on. i would guess bad O2 sensor but shouldent the check engine come on as soon as i start it after i pull the battery cable. If any one can help me i want it to end cuz my gas milage is 100 times better with it off

I had this problem (other than the gas mileage thing). After I put on the o/r x and mils, the check engine would come on radomly during easy driving.

My solution was to go get a custom tune. They can competely disable the rear O2 sensors with a tune, and you might even pick up some milage with a tune anyway. If there are no dyno shops around that can tune, I THINK (you should ask around) a preadator tuner will do the same thing.

they do suck they have never worked for me. i just used my diablosport tuner to fix it. any tuner or custon tune from a shop can rid the annoying light.

last I checked dialbo doesnt make a preadtor for the SN95's.... I have had no prblem with my MILs. Have you pulled the code to make sure it is indeed your O2 sensors, not trying to be a smartass, just asking.
