Hope the fix works for you Glen.


The dude with the Caddy called me today and said the CEL is on again but it's now a smog code. Did a bit of research and it sounds like it's because he removed the converter. A trick I found is to install spark plug anti-foulers into the O2 bung and then reinstall the sensor. It moves the sensor tip further away from the exhaust flow so the computer thinks everything is cool.


On my 94 Z28 I gutted the converter but it didn't throw codes because it was the OBD 1 system.

I don't know if he will want to do that but it seems like a pretty easy fix. I might take the car to my FIL's barn and use the lift instead of laying on my back in my garage.

Happy Monday kiddies!
