  • Check engine light

    I know there are plenty of posts about this problem, but I'm starting to run out of ideas here. I'm trying to sell my car but not until I can get the check engine light off.

    Mods. Long tubes, x-pipe, slp exhaust, CIA, throttle body, 3.73, and diablo programmer.

    IAC replaced, MAF replaced, new alt, have eliminators and a new O2 censor, and put the stock tune back in with programmer. Worked for couple hours now back on. Car runs rich bank 1 sensor 1 and bank 2 sensor 1.
    I could get a tune but for bolt ons that seems a bit much!

      Both O2's reading the same thing, then I say it's actually running rich. Clean your MAF for starters.

        The MAF is new. I'm starting to run out of ideas unless it just needs to be tuned out.

          There are a lot if things that can set lean or rich codes and you could throw a lot of parts at it and not cure the problem. The long tubes out the o2 sensors in a much different location than stock and that can affect their ability to read the same as stock would. If the tune you are using is generic then I would recommend a custom tune for your specific application first.

              Ya it's just the regular tunes that come with the programmer. Hopefully they won't charge a ton if I have a tuner and it's just running rich.

                If your going to sell it, put the stock exhaust back on. Long tubes can throw a CEL because your O2 sensors are not at the correct distance from the ports. The exhaust gas has enough time to cool and not read properly. Also did you put a colder thermostat in the car? If so this can result in the car thinking its not fully warmed up. CAI can also throw fits with the computer without a tune.
