That's, umm, just, umm, great you fixed the 3 year old problem. Heck if you were strapped for cash you just could have spent $5 at radio shack and made MIL eliminators for the downstream O2's.


You folks do know that any CEL, even a soft code, will curtain timing advance and run the engine a bit richer. (a hard code is much worse of course)



Damn. I'm guilty, too. I've read codes, replaced the ailing sensor, had the car to a pro, to no avail. Same code comes back. Finally kind of gave up.

I think I just need to go to Autozone and replace all the sensors.

Demon, are you saying that even if I trick it, the rich condition goes away?
