Will this $7 option to bypass alcohol content sensor work?

[RobWigglezz]

I know there's a $150 option on eBay for a plug and play frequency generator bypass. But I bought a couple styles off of Amazon to mess around with and have as an emergency backup if my sensor ever goes out.

My sensor reads 57hz according to scan data on regular 87. I can adjust from 1hz to 500hz so the frequency shouldn't be an issue.

it would be nice if it works. in the past I've had to buy 2 of the replicators.
do you have a scan tool? plug the freq generator in and read the % alcohol.

Yea l, I just gotta find the rest of my tiny molex connectors that I can plug into the connector for the sensor. I'll try in the morning and report back.

WHERE is % ethanol in the scan data? WHAT is it called?... (I don't see it anywhere... do I need a newer scan-tool? )

Okay, I give up
WTF are you guys talking about here? Is this some kind of DUI checking device?
Alcohol? Ethanol?

I was so close to locking this thread for that a bit ago...

Then I saw this was in the 3.0 section and remembered the 3.0 could be had as a flex fuel engine and had a sensor that measured the alcohol content in the fuel to adjust parameters.

It sure is a Monday...

the FF sensors are also used in some Taurus models of similar years.

several options now, all expensive.
