Default Quickfix CEL!

I was thinking about what to do with the CEL before I took to a shop and had them move the O2 sensor which seems to be the only real fix.

I unplugged the O2 sensor (not from the S-pipe but the other side). Then I disconnected the battery and before reconnecting the battery I plugged the O2 sensor back in. Then i started my car and no CEL. I just did this like 30 mins ago so I dont know if it will stay off, Im thinking it wont but who knows.

150 miles and it will come back on... Anti-fouler's seem to work the best.

Your anti-fouler is on the 2nd o2 sensor on the s-pipe right?

Maybe try adding a 3rd anti-fouler to the batch.. The turbonetics anti-fouler that comes with their turbo kit is about the length of 3 as opposed to the standard 2 that seems to work for just about everyone.

Did you reset your battery right after you installed your anti-fouler before today?

I installed the headers by myself. After I installed the headers I installed the Anti fouler on the S-pipe. Then I took it to a shop and they put the aftermarket S pipe, and they moved the anti fouler from the old s-pipe to the new one. But when I installed the antifouler, yes i reset the battery.

690 miles so far and no CEL. But what I think happen was when the muffler shop finished my catback exhaust, they didnt reset the ECU. So all I had to do was reset it. *Fingers Crossed*
