MIL's and still getting P0141/P0161

[JAYTEE1456]

Hey guys...I've researched the site and found a ton of responses regarding this issue and I've tried different things, but my light just keeps coming on. I have an o/r Pypes X-pipe and MILS I purchased from American Muscle. For some reason, I've reset the battery, checked the connections and even changed out an O2 sensor and the light just keeps coming on. I don't understand. Is there any suggestions you guys have? Please...this is getting frustrating. Thanks everyone!

Good luck...I ran into the same situation and never got it resolved.

me too, mils are junk, thats why i'm just going to have mine turned off when i get my car tuned.

that sucks, I have the exact same combo as JAYTEE, except with shorty headers and dumps, and my mils work like a dream... maybe check and see that good connections are getting made between the harnesses?

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm going nuts. I emailed the guys at American Muscle and they stated that sometimes in rare cases the MIL's will burn out immediately after install. He told me to call them and they'll work it out. So, we'll see if that's the case. If not, I guess I have no choice, but to get a good tuner. I have a worthless Hypertech right now. Doesn't do much at all.

I got the same problems.... Smae MIL's from American Muscle... I thought the ones with the connectors(vs. splice in ones) won't ever burn out.... Oh well... Should have just piuckered up and spent money on a SCT SF3...

I'm probably gonna pull them apart though... Clean up the connections and put some dialectic in there and see if anything changes....

That's so weird, because before this thread i had never heard of any problems with them...mine work great. I guess the best thing to do is just get the tuner and turn them off that way, but good luck you guys, that really is crappy.

ive ran mils for about a year now and havent had any issues. i guess the resistors just burnt out on ya. sorry to hear it. like everyone else says, a good tune will clear that right up.
