LOL!! Glad someone caught that

The CEL has not lit up with any codes, and when turned to run position it does in fact light up.

The plugs are the Autolite double platinums.

I checked the cat out based on a post i read here last week where you put your hand over the tailpipe...check for pressure...I can't find the post now that I'm trying to find it lol!

Huh?! What is VTC? And could you point me to a link describing the installation problem? thanks

If the CEL is not lit, can I still retrieve codes?
