2nd O2 Sensor Delete

[drag97GSX]

I know this has been covered before, but I am confused about something. I don't know about the 1Mohm. Is it supposed to be a resistor or a capacitor? If it is a resistor, how many Watts is it supposed to handle. I know the ~12 Ohm resistor needs to be AT LEAST 12W capable. No electronic store around sells a 1 Mohm resistor anywhere close to 12W capable. My question is does the 1 Mohm need to dissipate that much wattage and is it even a resistor? Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you need this: Resistor 1M ohm 1/2W 5% tolerance.
Bought my parts today to build the bypass.. left all the parts at work, but i can check tomorrow to be 100% sure.

Best reg.

Do you know that you can just remove the O2 sensor from the exhaust, wrap it in aluminum foil and hang it somewhere out of the way?

I have read you could, but i would rather delete the thing instead. Dont wanna chance getting it caught on something or submerge it in water. But, i guess i may have to if no one knows for sure the answer. Dont wanna burn up my car because i put a resistor too weak in it.

that's all you have to do to "trick" the CEL from coming on?? cooooool. i don't mean to pirate the thread, but about sticking in a used spark plug into the O2 hole- i heard the plug must have the inner section taken out. does it really matter? if so, how would one go about doing this?

Yep.

I never heard of the spark plug trick.....so you might want to do some research.

I would just get a bolt to put in there if it were me.
