Building a Cags By-Pass
I know there was someone out there who built there own Cags bypass. Do you remeber which resistor it was. So far I have been to radio shack and I have not been able to get any of them to match what I have. Thanks in advance.

I clipped the following from an earlier CF message. I don't remember who posted it, but here it is...
When the CAGS solenoid is connected, the ECM sees the effective resistance of the coil in the relay. When the connector is unplugged, the ECM will see an open circuit or infinite resistance, and sets a trouble code to warn of CAGS solenoid failure. To prevent this code, a 2.2K ohm ½ watt resistor is placed in the end of the wiring harness after it is unplugged from the solenoid. Now the ECM will see the same coil resistance as it did when the wiring harness was connected to the CAGS solenoid. No codes will be set, and the CAGS lockout solenoid will cease to function. Now, you will no longer be prevented from shifting into second gear from first during conservative driving.

I also made my cags eliminator. The link John Glenn provided is the one I used. Total cost .30 cents!!! Works like a dream!! :D :D :D
