So, after i installed my headers i've got a CEL
i've tried Antifouler method
longer antifouler
3 Antifouler
This type of o2 simulatorhttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-electrical-wiring/221951-making-your-own-rear-o2-bypass-simulator.html

and nothing worked ! the longest it still of it's when the o2 is plugged directly on the s-pipe.

what you guys (the one that the antifouler dsnt work) are you using ?
anybody tried this http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/oxygen_sensor_simulator/

what about MIL eliminator ?
and www.o2simulator.com ?

there is seems to have not much info about them over here ![/url]

That should do the trick. then if it still doesnt work hook up the ones you have til it does. dont forget to disconnect the battery between these. I have this from this seller, but not the L shaped.

OK so Im just gonna type whats goin on and see if anyone has any ideas. I just put my Injen CAI on last wednesday. This morning I go to start my car, it starts to fire up but then bogs down and dies. I crank it over again and it starts up, but a beautiful CEL light is glowing at me. Car seems to run pretty much like normal, but once this afternoon at a stoplight it was holiding at 750rpm and then started bogging and tried to die. I came home disconnected the battery let it sit for awhile and then went out and reconnected everything. I started it up and the CEL went away and it seemed to be idling fine. I let it idle for around 6 minutes and then the fan kicked in....but when the fan kicked off the motor shut off with it and the CEL came back on? Im gonna go to autozone and have them pull the code because I dont wanna wait for my buddy to get off work, anyone have any ideas? Also where can I find what the code is when autozone gives it to me? Sorry for the long read, thanks again

So I just got back from autozone, the guy said it was a first bung 02 sensor problem, and that it was running rich? I bought MAF sensor cleaner hoping that will help...anyone have any input?
