    Default Cant Pass Emissions Testing

    Hey guys

    So the SVT has a cel on and I am giving off too much carbon minoxide to pass the emissions test. The maximum rating is .45 and I am at 1.23. I took it to auto zone, the code is P1131. The person at autozone blammed it on my cold air intake. I have the kkm intake and the BAT intake pipe, but I dont think that really has anything to do with it.

    Any idea's/suggestions, so I can pass and get my sticker? Or does anyone know what the P1131 code is?


    Thanks!!!!

    P1131Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean - Bank No. 1.

    seems you need a new O2 sensor ...

    OMG, WTF, PITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    wow, so I got the socket on the sensor, wrench on the socket, and theres no room to turn the damn thing??????
    I just got back from sears and picked up a long 7/8 inch wrench but it rubs on the back of the intake manifold and wont go all the way on to the sensor......
    sooooooo, its time to read through this how to again.........need to get to work in the morning somehow

    Disconnect the battery. Remove the nuts that hold the megafuse to it's mounts. Use a crowbar to hold the megafuse toward the firewall. Use the newly created gap for the wrench. Cuss some more......

    You get the idea...

    Ive found that investing in a plethora of extensions is the only way to work on these cars.
