it doesnt come on right away...usually takes a few cycles of the key or miles before you throw a code.

The mechanical fix (anti-foulers) works!

I did mine exactly a week ago and it works flawlessly.

be careful when using the anti-foulers. i did that originally and it put the end of the o2 sensore so close to the chassis of the car that when i would turn hard or hit bumbs it would hit against the body of the car, causing one of the wires to be exposed and eventually shorting the main engine fuse out. i changed to a different mechanical fix with a 90 elbow. good luck.
