Check Engine Light

I have an 04 GTO with LTs and high flow cats. The check engine light keeps coming on b/c of the factory o2 sensors with the high flow cats. How do I solve this problem? They don't make o2 simulators anymore(illegal). Are there performance o2 censors for aftermarket cats? Hopefully someone can help me.

Need to get her tuned. Predator worked for me. You can go handheld or not.

well, you could always make your own 02 sensor sims, there are write-ups floating around on various sites, and i've helped a few of my friends do it for their Jeeps. they aren't too bad.

Most high flow cats have an O2 bung in them. The reason the check engine light is on is because the high flow cat doesn't "filter" as much as the stocker did and therefore the O2 sensor is getting a different reading and setting the check engine light.

You would think there would be an O2 sensor made that has the values the computer needs.

I imagine that could be done. Recalibrating one might work. But for the time and effort, it's just better to tune it out.

If a guy knew the values they send for all the O2 sensors made, then you could just pick the one with the right values. O2 sensor DATA base is what we need.

If I have to go to a speed shop and have her tuned for that, I'm just gonna wait and buy a cam, maybe even a set of heads too
