o2 fix?

What can i use to turn off the CEL light after installing a test pipe? Is it worth picking up the AMS o2 fix? has anyone used that and not worked? the warning light isnt a big deal, but it just gets annoying at times.

Either patch it out in your ecu, or run 2 spark plug antifoulers that can be found at autozone for a few dollars. Just have to drill out one of the antifoulers, screw it on your o2 sensor, and screw the un-molested one on the very end.

Yeah, ECUFlash can get rid of a lot of them now, see here:

FWIW, I ran every single different type of o2 spacer with my test pipe, and none worked. The L Shaped one, the normal spacers, none of them prevented, eventually, a CEL from coming on. YMMV, of course.

Yea I initially ran an antifouler that came with my exhaust and it worked fine. But I wanted to use the rear o2's input for my wideband. So I patched that **** out!

Patching it out is a way better option!

I accidentally posted this thread with my wrong account. but thanks a lot. ill definitely look into the antifouler fix. so i guess if that doesnt work i can try the ecu fix. A local shop mentioned to me that theres going to be a for sure ecu fix in a month and for me to just come in to get it flashed if its still coming on. because the previous ecu fixes caused other codes to pop up.
