Question for those with NOS

Does anyone else have the check engine light illuminated? This problem happened on my car. It disengages when I take it in for service but after 100 or so miles it returns. The service technician said it is because I ran NOS through my cat converter. Any thoughts?

Hey D, remember when I was at acura and your car was there. I talk to the technician that was working on your car because I know him pretty well. He told me that you had the engine light because of the cat converter was bad, because you were running NOS. I told him that the same thing happen to me without NOS. They replaced the cat with a new one. This was at 49k miles so I was still under warranty.

In my opinion I say is not the NOS. Has this happen to anyone else without NOS.

If you ever make it out of Northern Cuba, hit me up. :p If the Check Engine light is on, I can diagnose it with my OBDII scantool software.

Son we are in Cuba. That little island 90 miles south of us is South Florida.

Well, you were probably running too lean and melted the catalyst.
