Check Engine Light?!!?
Well i gutted my cat and now my check engine light is on. I was wondering if there was anyway i could possible get around the check engine light? Also, if I am running a loop does that mean i am running rich and losing HP? I tried to reset my ECU and it didnt do anything. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks~Doug
P.S. I have a 2001 Base Prelude!

yep, your engine is in open loop now and its running rich as a champ just as a precaution, i new a chick that had the same problem, she ended having to get a new cat, your 02 sensor is detecting too much exhaust or some shit and its causing the code, im not sure but if you get hondata i think you could get rid of it cause you dont have to have 02 sensors with hondata program........

I believe that an o2 simulator is a resistor that you hook up to the o2 sensor that will cause the o2 sensor to send back the correct reading to the ECU which will remove the check engine light and keep his car from running in loop, but like matt said that might not necissarily be a good thing b/c you are tricking the ECU into thinking something that is not actually happening, which can lead to bigger problems.
