Yeah i still need a filter. while i was doing the UIM/LIM cleaning, i found the PCV floating, it wasnt pushed in to the lower elbow. i think this was the reason i failed i was getting umetered air, the o2 sensors picked up the extra oxygen and told the computer to pump more Fuel in because of the extra air. thus causing the HIGH HC's (unburned fuel)
but yeah i made MIL eliminators when i gutted the precats. also i did replace my main cat with a bigger one yesterday, just so that it can make up for the loss of the other cats being missing.
ohh and i never had a CEL so no worries there.
