[2005gt]

i got the down pipe with a high flow cat. and now to 420 code keeps coming on. its the old o2 in it still. how can i get ride of the code. the car is a 05 gt.

thanks for the help.

run a spark plug non fouler with the rear 02. google it. or have someone with a tuner delete the code

Ive never seen the fouler not work. How did you put yours on?

one was drill out and put the o2 in it . and put all in the pipe. it came with two . shuld i used both. this is what it looks like.

Good luck.

Easiest way would have someone local delete the code if possible

have you cleared the codes since you put the fouler in?

Most posts I've seen (and this is with high flow cats in general) people claim they tried one spark plug anti-fouler and it took the two. It's spacing the O2 sensor out of the exhaust stream to allow it to "read" what it thinks it need to read.
It will take a while for the car to clear the code on it's own. IMO clear all codes and start from a clean slate.

As stated, the best method is to delete the code from the PCM completely (but this can sometimes be costly just for a single code delete).

Best of luck!

Wrong. not on a 2001 plus. Doing so COULD cause a over fueling issue because the car will still run the cat diagnostic but never complete it.

Truth.

'01+ cars have a different fueling loop IIRC. Putting in a o2 sim KILLS MPG's OR makes the car run terribly lean...you never really know...it just does what it wants.

thanks, you f*ckers have me thinking now.... so this over/under fueling issue applies to me and my 2001, since the code and everything was deleted from the pcm?

edit: either way, i guess im not too worried. been going strong for over a year now. good gas mileage and all..

 

[matt5112]

my code is set to not report yet the O2 sensor is still there.

No issues thus far.
