for some reason my CEL went off a couple of weeks ago and hasnt returned...:dunno:

04RX8man 06-19-2009 03:35 PM

Accessport!

^^ Basically :) The CEL will be there cause there is no CAT

...deal with it...or mask it with the Accessport

The other options usually don't work...so don't waste your money

or you MIGHT get lucky like me and the CEL will accidentally turn off :)

Nope.
Buy an AccessPort or use black electrical tape to cover it and you'll never see it ;)

What about removing the vfad. I did that and caped it and my cel has not come back on.

The Accessport can mask a CEL?

Haha, beat Laythor and Flashwing! :lol:

dose tape really work ?

Vyndictive 09-24-2009 07:20 AM

well, instead of the Check engine light on your dash, you have electrical tape. . . the light is still on, you just have tape over it so you can't see it. . . I can write a DIY if you'd like? :cwm27:

TeamRX8 09-24-2009 07:43 AM

just kill yourself, now .....

9krpmrx8 09-24-2009 07:45 AM

Yeah without the Access port it will stay regardless of what you do.

I actually thought that was pretty funny. :lol2:

The back o2 sensor is just for making sure the cat is in good condition right? I know our cars have a wideband setup and i want to make sure that its not the same sensor, because if you use the spark plug trick and that sensor is the wideband one then your messing with the readings and fuel injection.
