I've been getting a lot of help from Alphawerks including an offer for me to get it fixed for free since i'm local to their location... when we get it fixed, I'll post up all the help I can and get the O2 sim working for as many people as I possibly can... i'll try to include pics and a detailed how-to.

i cant remember the code but i was told it was catalytic threshold unacceptable or w/e. why would that make the car run bad the sensor on the s pipe is just suppose to test the exiting air flow to make sure the cat is working correct?

o2 could be damaged as well. theyre pretty fragile and I've killed a couple myself back in my Honda days. Hope its not for your sake though: $$$

Damn I feel for you guys, I guess I just got lucky on my o2 sim from alphawerks, either that or it was my help from my best friend who used the official toyota o2 sensor socket removal tools! :P

hmm 95 bucks seems a little steep but could be a viable solution. if it doesnt work will i get a refund? since its plug and play do i have to leave it in or just one time thing?

I tried the slightly larger version of the antifouler ill get the part number for you in a bit, it has been working perfectly and i also have the alphawerks Header. Make sure you reset ECU when you install the antifouler. Disconnect negative terminal on battery for 10 to 15 min reconnect terminal let the car idle for another 10 no reving.

yes if it does not work you can always get a refund. They are wire in not plug and play anymore. Very easy to install.

did you use the normal or long 18m anti fowlers?? i used the normal and my cel came on and the code would not even clear it just kept coming back so i tossed another anti fowler in and no more cel it runs better too i think if i would of used 2 longs instead of the 2 normal i would of been fine

Make sure you reset the ECU correctly and drill out the longer antifoulers correctly too. Goog luck man :D

wait wait.. this is BS.. you mean i have to spend an extra hundred dollars over the money i already dished out on the AW Header just to get the damn thing to function properly? WTF? shouldn't that be on Alphawerks' shoulders to have the F-ing thing working properly ?!
