O.k... so I know there are some guys out there running test pipes on their 2gs with O2 simulators. Where did you find them? I want one and can't find one. I hate the CEL!!! Thanks yo,

Danny
 
one thing you can do is put a bolt into the hole where the o2 sensor goes and just clamp the sensor outside of the exhaust... or put tin foil around the sensor inside the exhaust

Are you sure it won't cause the CEL to come on. I would think that if the 2nd O2 isn't getting any sort of reading, the CEL would be on in a heartbeat. What exactly does the tin foil do? Thanks in advance,
 
I would not suggest spending 50 bucks on a simulator.

The sole purpose of the rear O2 sensor is to check to make sure the cat is working. As long as the value coming from the rear O2 is less than the one coming from the front, then the ECU will stay happy. Just plug the hole and clamp the rear O2 right to the side of the exhaust pipe.

Or, just deal with the CE light. :)

That makes perfect sense. I would just think that if the second O2 wasn't getting any kind of reading it would trigger the CEL. I learndid sumthin new...:thumb:

Thanks guys,
