I just want to say thanks to whoever figured out the fix for the P0420 code, by using the spark-plug non-foulers, I put this on my car last weekend and so far have not gotten any codes.

There's no room for them on mine. My O2 is at/near the firewall, not down the pipe like others. I'm still trying to correct this.

I did mine over the summer when I get my new exhaust. 5k + miles and over 5 months later, and still no CEL. If you do it right, it will not come on.

Finally got in there to try it again, using a 7/8 line wrench and not a O2 socket, showed I had room. Got it all put in, hopefully it works.

LOL. Now I'm getting p0137!

I cleared it so I'm hoping it won't come back or may just be not grounding properly with the non-foulers in place. We will soon see.

what about inspection?

This will help pass emissions without a cat, but what about passing inspection?

depends on the type of inspection. most just look to see if u have a cat and the correct number of o2 sensors.

others actually have sniffers in the tail pipe and run ur car on the rollers at various speeds.
colorado's new emissions place :-(

+1 for this tip. Bought parts Tuesday, installed Wednesday, passed inspection Thursday. So far so good!

Just did this and will update when I know what happens. Should work fine though, my buddy did this and has no problems. I added a little steel wool in the space inside the non foulers down by the lil hole to aid in a little filtration.

howdy, i have a 2005 4g94 tried to smog today and it failed due to not being odb2 ready. Seeing as i've had this code for a few years I just clear the code and go get it smogged. Never failed before but now theyre telling me the odb2 isnt ready.

So seeing as I have the 0421 will the foulers give me a decent shot at keeping the code off long enough to be ready and pass smog? My emissions are fine im just failing based on the odb2 part.

Already paid for smog twice and failed, hoping I can figure this out this third time.
