i have joined the cel club

[clarion]

i got my header in and was buzzzing around town, literaly, only 30 miles later CEL come on :mad:
im going to get the sensor put behind the cat, but it seems like there is no performance loss so i might just take the cel bulb out, what you think i sould do? besides unplug the battery everyday. also i might get a resonator put in
too

[clarion]

rigging?.......... the bulb thing :confused:

I'll have to admit I get the occasional cel usually about 5000-7000 miles but I don't even have to reset the ECM it will go away after about 50 miles. I think it could be the first o2 sensor overheating. Guess I need to drive down to miami and use Ford's obd2 scanner and race him and sed in the process. :)

I haven't had any cel since I moved my o2.How far away do you have your second o2 from you cat

[slow 2K2GT]

I really should get around to this, my 2nd o2 sensor is sitting on my counter top, its been out for about 7 months now. :(

my 02 sensor is zip tied to the firewall
i kinda got used to the light, i think i wouldnt feel right if it went away.
just get a cheap obd2 scanner and check it every once in a while to see if you got any problems

[clarion]

my sensor is in the stock place,before the cat, so if i put the sensor after i'll get no cel?

i been looking at the obd2 scanner, i think i have this right..... so i need to have a palm thing already, and i buy a wire to hook to the ecu to the palm and i need to down load the program for the palm off the internet or cd if it comes with it,.... right? buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! i think im getting used to it now :D

[XDGT03]

Leave the bulb in. Put the 2nd o2 sensor in.

What header do you have?

[RonnieSan]

What problems can be caused if I have no O2 sensors? Will it affect my emissions (CA)?

[BLK02XD]

you can find cheap scanners on ebay, its pretty much the plug and a small lcd screen. they just show the trouble codes so you know whats going on

you need your first sensor for you air fuel mixture i beleive. second one is just to tell if the cats working, so that one doesnt matter

[Mahonroy]

Whats your input on the headers? Increase power? Worth the CEL and buzzing?

[clarion]

hey Mahonroy its worth it, i raced my friend and he has the same stuff as me( cai, high flow cat, canister muffler) except he has the cvvt and stock header,
we started from a stop, we both were even for a little bit and i started passing him, i wish i had time slips to prove my victory, it helps out the mid to high range alot, buy a header do it now, im going to have the sencer put behind the cat later after chistmas probly

oh the buzzing isnt all that bad only if i floor it or excellerat hard
when driving normally it has the normal low tone coming out, till you floor it whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
