Don't you want to let your first thread get off the front page before you start a second one?

To Quote Racing Beat http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda4.htm

"5. Remove catalytic converter and resonator from the engine completely, and replacing with "cat" replacement tube – max benefit 8 HP – regardless of what muffler is used (or even no muffler)."

Doesn't seem worth the other issues involved in CAT removel for just 8HP. Or are you saying Racing Beat is wrong??

Dont be ashamed of your ENGLISH skills. I think you are doing a good job. If I where even half as skilled in writingf in another language, I would be very pleased with myself. As it is, I should know English, Tagalog, and Spanish. BUT, what languages do I know? Just one, English. So write on brother, practice makes perfect.

the reason why your CEL came on is that your O2 sensor knows there is no cat. on your car. You need to get a Casper O2 sensor fooler.

Thanks very much guys, very nice of you..!!! "thanks CATALYST, Petrus and Fanman I really appreciated it"
I already install an O2 fooler but engine light still on, maybe I don't installed correctly.
can I get some advice about installing an O2 fooler..???
There is 4 wire in the CAT O2 sensor 2 of them ground (black) and the O2 fooler has only 3 wires, so I little bit confuse

Don't apologize to me..I just wanted to help figure this out and it's easier when it stays in one thread..

What color are the wires on the three wire Lamda fooler?

If you have One black and two whites, the heater and PCM feedback curcuits are sharing a common ground.
