No, even if your car is fully modded, they're going to service it no matter what .


Btw, if you have an aftermarket header/manifold and you're SES light is on, they will clear it for you, but expect to come back because your warm up/first cat is gone. The solution, is to relocate the 2nd o2 sensor, meaning drill another plug hole after the cat and put the o2 sensor there and close the first one, so that way, it will sensor after the cat.

Im curious, do they even pop the hood when they do the reflash? or is it done from inside the cockpit?


----I was able to remove the CEL by using the 2 plug non-foulers, and drilling one out. (instlaling no the 2nd cat)----

ok got the recall done, but they did NOT even pop the hood to check the pre-cat and when they did the reflash i have weird problems with my car now

when i'm driving and trying to shift gears, i release the gas and push the clutch, but the car keeps the rpm high for a couple seconds before letting it drop. and sometimes it even increases the rpm before letting it drop. never had this problem BEFORE the reflash and i've put around 35,000 miles on it. anyone have ideas on this one?
