so i have had my swap for about 3 months now. all along i have been running it with CEL because of my secondary o2 not being there. could i have caused any damage by doing this? is there any way it could be running lean? i just but an exhaust(kteller 2.5" with magnaflow cat and straight thru muffler) snd have since noticed what seems to be less power. then last week i washed down the motor and noticed some bogging down but then went away. something just doesn't feel right...any ideas where to start looking?

 

no one has an idea of where to start?

 

well with a cel on ive noticed that the engine will put itself in safe mode and richen itself, or retatd itself... something like that. there is no damage, just a slight power loss.

 

fix the CEL first....
all you have to do is go to a muffler shop and have them put an o2 bung on your cat or your high flow cat.....or buy a cat with a second o2 hole....which i have...im if you are interested....

yeah... i think your right on that one. i know my knock sensor problem did that.

 

i had the o2 bung added but i am a little nervous about the actual wiring. anyone know a good place for reliable pinouts for an 00 b16? also if anyone has done this where did you run the wiring? the si's have a hole in the floor board right near the shifter but i do not think my cx hatch has that hole...i'm thinking somewhere in the firewall...will the length of the wire effect the signal at all?

 

up for more ideas...

 

eh...once more...
