Ok, so I move back to California from Alaska and have to register my car. Can't do it with the alphawerks headers in. I try to find stock headers to replace it so I can register, go to three pick and pulls and 2 toyota parts places, no luck finding used stock headers. I broke down and bought all new headers from the dealership and a new O2 sensor that goes on the S-pipe cause I destroyed it trying to get the CEL to turn off.

Anyway I got everything in, the new headers and new O2 sensor. Everything looks great but when I turn it on the damn CEL is still staring me in the face .

WTF?!? Whats going on? Any ideas? I need to get this thing smogged and registered asap.

PS. Anyone interested in buying some used alphawerks headers? haha

 

just go to autozone and have them clear the code

 

pull the ECU fuse and let it sit for 20 minutes.

 

which one is the ECU fuse?

 

or just disconect the battery terminals, reconect after 2 minutes, then restart car

 

Was the car purchased in Alaska? If so, doesn't that offer you exemption?

 

No exemption unfortunately, I tried.

 

Unhooking the battery worked. Dang it, I should have thought of that. Now i feel dumb haha, oh well its fixed now.
Thanks to everyone that replied.

 

Glad i could help
