I've already tried 2 o2 simulators to get that CEL to go away so i can go in and out of the dealer without troubles or stupid question. (gonna bring it in because my sunroof switch surrounding plastic fell when i hit a bump and my switch won't go back into postion, POS parts )

I've already tried the cheap circuit method to modify the 02 sensor signal, but that didn't work, my CEL came on a half an hour after i started it up when i was testing it by revving it a bit. I talked to the guy at autozone to check my codes again to make sure they were exhaust related, which they were, and he said he used an electrical o2 simulator, but had to replace it every couple months. I'm hoping what he said isn't true cause thats a good $20 and a pain to wire up.

I also tried the mechanical 02 simulator, using the double plug defouler method. Problem was that with an XTC downpipe, the bung placement is horrible and the o2 sensor in no way fits under the car with the added spacing.

I was wondering if anyone offered a mechanical o2 sensor (like the defoulers), but with a 90 degree elbow or if anyone has had any luck with electrical simulators. I feel like a retard already spending about $30 trying to trick my ecu with no luck, input is much appreciated.

 

HP Tuners if all else fails

works great.. just turn off the code

 

yeah, I didn't want to have to spend my money on hptuners yet, but that may be the final choice. I have a 2.8" pulley waiting to be put on and i'm probably going to get 60 lb injectors and hptune, but i'm not working and need a quick fix that works.

 

Well.. it would only cost you 99 bucks for the licence.. and find someone close that has a cable and will tune it for you or let you borrow it. then just give em a couple bucks and everyones happy.

That way you get a tune, and the ability to change it anytime(well, whenever they are free to help) for a relatively little amount of money.

Edit: where are you in michigan?

 

Im in kalamazoo most of the time, but i'm probably gonna go back around the detroit area to farmington hills soon. I was hoping that i could get hptuners eventually and program my own fuel maps, so i won't have to rely on somone else to do it for me. I'm just not sure how much more of a pain it would be, and how much the software costs and what not.

plus, my only laptop as of now is a dual processor macbook, i can utilize windows on it, but there are still a couple bugs. I'm guessing hptuners only works on windows compatible systems though?
