Sometimes after you install cams you have to adjust your idle a little bit, especially if you are running you A/C.....it will really make your car want to stall out.

These are things you just don't admit in public...

Dude, get an O2 sim for like $25 and get rid of that CEL. What happens if you get a major CEL that means your engine is about to blow up? You'd never know, because of that dumb cat CEL. I can't believe you drive around all the time without fixing that...

Get tuned ASAP.
