I had it diagnotics, turned out it's running to rich with the intake on, plus O2 sensors of course(a big Ford Fup)but I'm not going to put the stock box back on. Is there a bulb I can pull or a switch to hit. I've been staring at this lite for 2 years, it's time for it to die! Doesn't help when tring to sell your car.

You going to fail emissions even if you pull the bulb. -Andy Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I also think it's probably because you're running rich. The intake shouldn't make that much of a difference though. Have someone run a diagnostic. I remember me and you had a conversation about gas mileage and you said that yours was very poor. I get like 340+ per tank. The intake should have helped your gas mileage if anything. 2006 Mazdaspeed6 1997 Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace 1996 Volvo 850-R
