That sucks because I have had my mine for over 1k miles and no cell and never had a cell or any problems with it since the beginning. Either I am really lucky, or it works like it says it does.

No it's OK, nothing sucks yet - 2 days now and still no CEL with the autotube "HELP knock-off". (and knock on wood too).

Besides I've been ripped off worse than for $9 over what I should have paid. And it might be worth it to somebody to see that (hopefully) a single anti-fouler works for more than one person.

Until now have always read you have to put 2 or 3 of these things on to make it work. Then you have issues with not having enough room to fit them all. Or the guy who thought his header was bad until he realized the wierd noise was his anti-fouler "train" knocking against the steering rack.

Didn't make it past day 3 - getting CEL's now, P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency below threshold). So the single anti-fouler is not working for my setup - Injen CAI, DC Sports header, Dynomax muffler.

But since I keep my Scangauge II hooked up all the time, reading & clearing the code only takes about 10 seconds. So I will wait until this weekend to get back under the car and add a second anti-fouler.

Told ya so! Most of the time mine would come back on after 2 1/2 days... but three fouler have been working for me. I am positive that one fouler will do just about nothing in terms of reducing air flow to the o2 sensor. Just keep adding a fouler on until it stays off for more than 3 days, you will probably only need two fouler.

I had mine in for over 5k miles and it never triped the cel. I took everything off the car so i can have warrenty work done on my radio. I think its hit and miss on our cars though.
