^^ 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

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

What does that have to do with the O2 sensor?

The Accessport can mask a CEL?

Haha, beat Laythor and Flashwing!

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?

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.
