TheEngineer -> O2 Fix to remove CEL or SES (10/21/2006 8:26:36 PM)

This is a quick fix on how to install a spark plug fouler when you have a high flow cat or a test pipe installed and you want to get rid of the check engine light (CEL) or service engine soon light (SRS).

STEP 1
-purchase 2 spark plug anti foulers at your local auto parts store
-18 mm size
-made by HELP brand / part number 42002
-HELP has also another part number 42009 and are shorter in length than the 42002, i have heard they worked , but i am not 100 percent

STEP 2
-disconnect the negative terminal on your battery. this will reset your ecu
-take one of the anti foulers and drill out its center using a 1/2 bit ,
-this will increase its hole size and allow your stock o2 sensor to fit
