so what else can it be?

 

chance. it's not a 100% guaranteed-to-work product. some x's always report a cel no matter how they used the spacer. my cel still pops up once in a blue moon after prolonged boosting.

 

So is there another fix for it?

 

other than a different spacer like touge factory's, or trying tephra's cel disable ecu mod, nope.

 

Im getting my Cobb AP next week, if I clear it that way will it keep coming back?

 

yes. the ap doesn't override cels. assuming you're not tuned yet, however, your chances of getting a cel may lower after the tune. but it shouldn't stop the cel from coming back, if it's persistent.

 

Been running this on my Evo X now for a couple hundred miles with the largest pill .. no CEL at all.

 

Wait, what? The Cobb AP *DOES* override the CELs. If you flash with an OTS map from Cobb, or get pro tuned with Cobb, there is the option to turn off the CEL.

You'll be fine once you flash with the AP.

There is no fix for open source tuning yet, I don't believe.

 

hm really, first i've heard of it. i always hear people getting cels after ap/tune, never heard of it being able to turn off cels. i don't have a cobb ap though, so i could very well be wrong.

 

I'm 99% sure the Cobb AP can over-ride CELs, but no other tuning solution can, at the moment.

For example, from the Cobb AP's map for a turbo-back exhaust:

At the way way bottom, it shows "CELs defeated", and mentions the P0420 code. Now, then, I have no idea if that also includes the "p0140" code, which is also a rear o2 sensor code, or not. My guess is not, since it doesn't specifically mention it. Oddity.

 

My apologies for quoting the whole picture, and the off-topic post, but what kind of ramps are those? They look like Rhino ramps? How did you manage to get the car up on them? The front of my car wouldn't clear the ramps...or is that the rear?

Thanks!

^^^ pretty sure that's the front

i think it barely clears if you don't have a lip kit. at least that was the case with my race ramps. once i lowered it with works springs, the bottom would barely clear the ramp with no room to spare, and after the lip kit it was just impossible without separate inclines.

 

Ams doesn't DIY those on their shop. the brand of the part, as well as the single pipe mufler, is "Brillant" or something similar.
they need to make some money on top right?
plus the quality of the piece is superb, actually i think it's a good price
you better get a good and tested part to install down there and work under 300 degrees, than a cheap part.

i have it for a few months, the steel still shine on my test pipe
Nice product
