turning off engine light ?

freni322 · 12-07-2003, 09:28 PM

I had the mac pro-chamber on my car which caused my check engine light to come on. Now that I took it off and put on the stock h-pipe it still will not come off.....?

I un-plugged the battery to reset the computer and it will go off for like 20 miles and then come back on for good. I have left it un-plugged for 12 hours once hoping the computer would loose that information.

I also took it by Team Xtreme and we reset it 2 times now and everything shows up fine with the car but it comes back on.

Any suggestions on turning it off?

Have you scanned for codes? Its possible you need new O2 sensors or something.

Yep, go by AutoZone and they should pull them up for free......

I have MIL's and AutoZone said that the light on mine is still on because of the carbin build up on the O2 sensors. You may have the same problem. If so you can get new ones, but they are almost $100 from what I was told.

Orileys also scan for codes.

Its probably an exhaust leak.

We scanned the car and it was showing codes from the rear o2 sensors, so probably a bad o2 sensor?

Will just order some new o2 sensors, anyone know where I can get them cheap at?
