must be why the stock tune can be rich at sometimes. i run no cats and i love the smell of fuel! i also love knowing that if i am on a road course my tune is up to the task even if me or my car hiccups

You'll be fine until your good and ready to tune. Just have to deal with the CEL.

This anti-fouler trick worked for me. Easy and inexpensive fix.

Running Kook's LT and Kook's HF cats. Car runs great, no out of the ordinary smells and has a good tune - just the nagging CEL.

Try the spark plug anti-fouler. It worked for me.

The spark plug trick won't keep it from coming but it can prolong the time it takes to throw the CEL. It's been tried MANY times and it always comes.

Hasn't come on for me. Been going well over a year and still no cel. Maybe I should give it more time, since "it always comes"

Maybe you'll be the first, and I really do mean the first with this car.
