hey guys just wanted to share that after 2 months of being installed with no effect, the dammed thing finally did what i payed 12$ shipped for, WORK! no more yellow light!!!

thanks rrm fr a cheap fix!

i have the rpw header. BTW

 

why did it not work initially?

 

that cel light is damn finiky. Ive heard so many storied about it not going off and then going off at odd times.

 

Thats strange mine worked right away. I did have to clear it initially but it never came back on

 

reset battery, initia11y was out for 2 mi1es and then back on, now off for two weeks!!

 

same here only now and then ill get a CEL from the piggy idling too rich. Im not worried tho. Its coming out in 2 weeks any way.

 

My cel eliminator worked right away after I reset and cleared the codes. That made me happy, the o2 sensor was a headache to get out though.

 

yeah i just dont know. Mine was off, then on, then off, now on again. Its so bipolar. Im a couple more on/off sequences away from pulling a fuse.

 

Nice job! I have an CEL elim but mine is not on. I need to put it on but can't. It's seized to the cat.

How did you get the o2 off the cat? Did you do it yourself? Any advice?

 

Yeah use a 22 mm wrench, drive the car so the exhaust gets nice and hot this should help get it out. if this does nor work let it cool off a little and hit it with pb blaster or wd-40. I hope this helps.

 

ok, came on today on the way to school, this is frustrating.

 

who sells perrin O2 simulator thses days?
I think that would be the better solution.

 

The RRM one worked great for me.

 

I'm not exactly sure what setups all you guys are using, but here's the low down. Our cars have 2 o2 sensors, the one used for engine control (in the header) and another used to diagnose the cat that was in the header. When you put an aftermarket header in you remove the cat and if you don't do something about the second o2 sensor you get a CEL.

I'm guessing most of you already figured this part out.

One way to fix this problem is to get something like the RRM CEL eliminator which removes the rear o2 sensor from the exhaust flow making it read less o2 and not through the CEL. In my opinion this is not a good way to solve the problem. A better solution (the one I use) is to have an exhaust sensor bung welded behind the second cat and move the second o2 sensor to that. Obviously this won't work if you have a test pipe, but if you still have a cat it is much more reliable than the CEL eliminator.

Hope this helped.

 

I just got mine out of the dealership and my mech told me that the code I was throwing wasn't for the sensor itself, but for the heater element inside it. I don't know if this has anything to do with yours, but I thought it was interesting.
