Sept 12 update Removed resistor and bottle and hose connections. Put straight connector in vacuum line to put thing back. Still have O2 extenders installed. WHY? After refilling the tank to get mpg results after I started the car for the 2nd time. I would not start. No starter sounds at all. Scan gage would not light up either. I removed the resistor and bottle system. I tried to start is several times, no luck. Windows worked, lights and all else. Tried unplugging scan gage an plugged it in an it worked again. I used it to check battery voltage which was OK. I then tried starting again and it did. My guess was that putting the resistor across MAF ground to signal out pins caused PCM to eventually latch out starting system. I will try adding low value resistor in line with signal out. Somewhere I read to put a a resistor value just above 300 ohms. Now that I have leftover leads readily accessible at the MAF connector I can see what the idle voltage is and will be able select an appropriate value for my MAF. See my reference data on MAF training. Shifted efforts to Rampage for now.

Sept 5, 6,  7 -  BIG Success But still tweaking it .

2000 Taurus station wagon   Evaporated water only.... no HHO cell... No electrical connections other than 6200 ohm resistor pushed into connector on MAF sensor. 

Installed four O2 sensor extenders. Purchased off ebay for a total of $8.50 per extender.

I found that  I could buy an identical item (Spark plug non-foulers) at Autozone for $2.49 + tax. Contains two per package. (You have to drill out the opening to make room for the sensor.) P/N 42002.

I then installed a container of water connected to the hose between the manifold and brake booster control box. This applies a vacuum to evaporate the water which is then sucked into the engine. The bottle rests on the radiator hose. This heats the water to case quicker evaporation. Sept 7 now back in system

   Sept 7  Photo of 6200 ohm resistor that I pushed up into MAF sensor connector across pins 2 & 3. When plugged up to MAF reading across resistor leads is 5700 ohms. (Resultant resistance seen by PCM  is lower than it was before adding resistor in parallel across the circuit. And still varies in value as more air passes by MAF. Reference point is now lower. PCM will call for less gas.) I finally had to solder the resistor to the wires as it would vibrate loose and back I went to old mpg level.....At that time I did try putting a 1,000 ohm resistor in place of the 6200 and found that the car would start but not stay running at all. So put 6200 back in. I removed the ball valve that I had left in the line still set for using a bottle with an air stone. Now I am not too sure if the mpg will be as high. There may be a threshold that if exceeded you revert back to lower mpg again. I will be trying other larger resistor values and other thing. Success but not the final one.

Sept 5. changed to longer hose to allow bottle to rest more completely on radiator hose. 

Sept 6 added ball valve and changed cap to include aerator stone . Set for small amount of bubble. If opened too much to obtain a larger amount of bubbles the vacuum drops too far and acceleration suffers.

 For info about using a bubbler stone visit my reference article # 1 and go to page 43.

Article # 1 has several stories near the end of it.

Sept 7  

(1) Went back to bottle with vacuum line only not air stone and hose. Vacuum is maintained. 

(2) Inserted 6200 ohm resistor into MAF sensor connector. This shifted the reference voltage going to the PAM. 

Evaporative booster.Vacuum pulls air into bottle which creates a multitude of bubble to assist in separating hydrogen from oxygen and is sucked into engine. Sept 7 Removed cap on water bottle with air stone and used cap with only a single barber fitting.

Even though the O2 sensors in front of the catalytic effect the fuel to air ratio the most, I put extenders on all four the sensors both before and after the  after the catalytics. I wanted to shift all the reference voltages for all four sensors equally.

The Taurus has two catalytics, one for each manifold, front an back.

42004 is a spark plug non-fouler that when the hole at the external thread end is drilled out to 1/2 inch it becomes usable as an Oxygen extender. Available at many auto parts stores for around $2.49 + tax comes two in a package.
