If you want to prevent it from happening again, if you feel like taking your o2 sensors out again, you can stake some medium coarseness Steel Wool and put some in the o2 bung to block some of the gasses from hitting the sensor. It's what I did and worked like a champ.
 A Code Reader is just to read codes, you'll need something that specifically clears them too. It should say it on the box I believe.
Places like Autozone, unless you get a good guy, aren't allowed to clear codes if they read them. They can only tell you 'You have a code'. Or maybe it was just the guy I was working with the time I went that didn't want to press 3 buttons...  ...go figure.  |
Thanks for the reply. I have the FI HFCs and the O2 bungs are turned out 90 degrees from the cat to prevent the gases from saturating the sensors I thought.
Anyone else with FI HFCs throw a CEL after installation or need steel wool to prevent a CEL?
Tony, can you comment on this being my issue? I just thought it was cause I disconnected the negative battary terminal of my battary... Thanks.
