Default I boosted my check engine light away?????????????

Ok, I was throwing a code 67 for a couple of months because of my testpipe, and today when I was handing some teg owner his *** infront of his girl, my check engine light mysteriously dissappeared, now what could this mean?

I wanna be happy, but I don't know if something is wrong. My only guess is that my secondary o2 sensor crapped out, fine by me.

maybe your o2 sensor got sucked in the testpipe and flew out the exhaust.

That situation is caused by running in a lean condition for a period of time. The cel will reset its self if it sees a lean condition for any lenght of time.
