lol

my dealer doesn't really give a ****.. which is a plus.. but now i'm out of my main warranty so it doesn't matter much.. they know about my header and dp.. and they knew i was putting a cat back on.. i just need to find out whats going on if my cel comes back on

but if i'm not gonna pass inspection anyway whats the point lol

unless i was missreading something.. oh well 230 miles and about 10 starts and still off *crossing fingers*

i hope you can get yours figured out if i had a shorty header i'd swap out the DP in an instant but i'd have to swap out the whole thing

lol so it's fine of only one sensor is jacked up

so i could just unplug my battery and go in 2 seconds later and it'll be fine but if too many things are not ready it'll throw a fit?

not to bump this up from the dead, but I have the same problem. EVAP and rear 02 sensor showing not ready. I think I'm just gonna put the stock dp and ecu back on and do the drive cycle for the rear o2 sensor.

We turned off the rear o2 sensor on the tune so that's my assumption of why it's showing as not ready.

how long before your rear 02 came on as "ready''?
