Test Pipe + O2 Spacer = CEL?

[denytuesday]

So I just got my test pipe installed with 02 spacer and everything was fine when I started it up and drove around for a while. I drove to my parents house (about 40 miles). Turned the car off and hung out for a bit and when I got back in the car to leave I had a CEL.....Anyone got any ideas as to why?

[hercfe]

because the spacer doesn't always fix the cel. its not a guarantee that it will work. try one more spacer. if that doesn't work, get used to the cel. apr flash gets rid of it. revo is iffy at best.

try a different brand spacer? Add one if the first spot? .....I'm running GIAC

I'm currently using an angled spacer. Should I use a straight spacer like the one 034 sells?

[colt45]

no the angled spacer is better.

Does GIAC not have a cat-delete file?

GIAC does not have a cat delete file like APR.
I learned to deal with the CEL.
I have a custom 90 degree spacer on mine and i currently don't have a CEL for it, but it comes and goes.

Oddly enough, backed out of the garage to wash the car...and, voila! no CEL.....I did reposition the 02 sensor spacer, I don't know if this fixed the problem or if it's just a coincidence. Either way, now onward to enjoying the test pipe.

Thanks for the input all!

i had a "too lean" cel with the spacer and HFC took it off and now i have a cat inefficiency cel fml right?

I'm not going to get upset with the car for 'working'...lol.....CEL is gone for now, so I'm happy.
