Check Engine Light?

GreenFaleen · November 19th, 2006, 03:19 AM

Ok I know it is a common promblem with my model car the bad o2 sensor or some valve getting stuck open. Well i have had it fixed multiple times and evrytime I do the check engine light comes on a day or two later is there anyway to permanently fix this?

tuner.. turn that sensor off would be ur best bet

Is it the front or rear 02?

If it is the rear just turn it off with a tuner or mils...

If it is the front I would find out why it is doing that...

I'm not exactly sure when I go get it fixed again I'll ask them. Everytime I have gone to get it fixed they tell me they see this in mustangs all the time.

Well if it is the rear ones...You can get mil eliminators or have those mils turned off with an XCAL2...

If they are the fronts I would ask them why it is doing that...

Yeah, but it will look better if you just pull the bulb out from the back of the panel

Sad to say, but pulling the check engine light is a VERY common thing to see in my neck of the woods.. Even at car dealers
