So as promised i said that i would get an o2 simulator, put it in, and test it out. Well i did, and all i have is great news! I bought a unit from a website that also sells their stuff on ebay. They have 228 feedback and all is at 100%. I read some of them and they are all good. Some people say that it fixed the P0420 code that i was getting. So I figured, since it works so well for others, why not i try it. So $30 later, i got the simulator and installed it. It connects to the ground of the sensor and the other 2 wires go into the signal wire. Meaning that you cut it in half and one wire goes to the sensor while the other goes to the car. I cleared my codes and started her up. There was a different tone that i could hear and feel. She idles a lot more even now and its a lot nicer. There is more power. Its just great!. The unit is small -> about 1 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. They say that there is an LED light in the thing, but i didnt see it when I started the car so I dont know, nor do i really care.

Anyway, so without the simulator, the CEL would come on after 20 miles. I put the sim in and i drove 120 miles today and no CEL codes anymore! I highly recomend these people.

You can completly remove your sensor and use a resistor that they provide with cables soldered to it. I bought it thinking that I would use it, but i cannot remove the sensor as it still reads it and then changes the signal

Shipping took 2 days.

Even though these are "illegal" for on road use, I dont think that anyone other than me is going to be looking under the car anytime soon. This is just a temporary fix until i decide to put in a high flow cat.

Maybe mods can put this into the information thread?? just a thought...

does your car sound like total ass with a glass pack in there? i thought only v6 mustangs did that shit.

glasspacks eventually corrode and spit out of your exhaust.

but on a side note, this post is actually useful.

Lol, no actually it sounds realy nice. Deep throaty sound that makes everyone look. I'll see if i can get a high quality recording so that all can hear. I just dont know who and where to go to get it done.

Either way, I have gone thru an entire tank of gas just to see whether everything is alright with the sim. I have no CEL and it works great. Even tho its cold up here, i ran the car inside of a garage (with the tubing on the exhaust to get it outside) and after a while, just felt the sim to see if it gets hot or not. There is no heat generated by it and everything seems legit.

Oh and I dont know if i mentioned this, but it was the smallest one that i could find on the market and thats why i bought it. Its so easy to hook up. With jacking up the car, putting it in, and dropping, it took me 25min. So a cheap, easy, and non time consuming thing install. Nothing but good things to say.

Thanks Bro.... I was gonna do just the S, but thought it looked a lil fruity. I think the CL-S is just enough!

Glad to pass it on!

Bumping an old thread - Artbran, hows the o2 simulator working for you now (do you still have it on?)?

03CLSMT

what caused the CEL in the first place? When I got my headers installed the CEL came on for the secondary 02 sensor.... Soo I just bought one too haha, did it really give you more power tho? I was under the impression that the secondary 02 didnt cause a loss of power but thats just what ive heard...

dru2

I would imagine he had a test pipe installed to replace the stock catalytic converter which through the CEL code in the first place.

But my guess is these things work like a charm?

You can go much cheaper and put in a set of sparkplug defoulers for 3 bucks.

sorry but let me get this straight the point of this is to correct your CEL coming on with your cat removed?

YeuEmMaiMai

and we all wonder why the laws are getting so restrictive when it comes to modding cars......

cls6

my CEL would come on every few days after I put on the hi-flow cat and it hasn't come back since the spark plug defouler trick a few months ago.

Wow... I didnt even see this thread come back up.

Yeah I still have it installed. Works great. Never had an issue and its under the car the whole time. Gone through 2 winters and on its second summer and still no problems!
