  • No cat & no SES??

    I was always wondering if my cat isnt clogged because i run a terrible 1/4 mile. One person suggested that the O2 sensors were bad and should be replaced. At the auto shop they told me a bad O2 throws a SES light. Tonight i cut my old exaust off so i coudl put my new flowmaster on. Well, i jsut had to see what open exaust woudl sound like so i started the car. No SES light came on. I let the car run for probably over ten minutes. Is this normal? Does it jsut take a couple miles before it throws a code? Do I more than likely have a problem with and O2 sensor? In advance thanks for any help.

        It took my car 70 miles to throw a code when I was running with open headers. So it might just take a little while.

                  Your not in Canada are you? I'm begining to wonder if the 02 sensors are programed differently up here or something. I'v had my cat off for about 4 months now. No light. Resetted pcm/ecm many times. My car doesn't through a code for a misfire either, you can unhook a plug wire and it wont flash the light. (pulled my iat sensor once and it set the light - so it works)

                  In your case, maybe you just have to wait longer though.
