Schmidt519 04-14-2005, 12:55 PM About a month ago I installed my Jet Hot LT Headers, the 02 extentions, were not included in the kit. So after putting the Headers on I later put the 02 extentions in, immediately removing the SES light. However, after a few weeks, the SES light came back on, look under the car and the extention on the left headers was burnt. So I replaced the extention with a new 3 feet extention allowing me to place the extention no where near the header. The SES remained on after the new extention, so went to AutoZone, ran the scan they said it was the O2's triggering the SES. But they deleted the code for me, SES light went off for a week, today started the car the freaking SES came back, how do I get rid of this light. Will the O2 Sims remove it for sure, b/c I hate this light. Also I pretty sure there's no way the new extention could have been damaged the way I positioned it.

Does everyone have to get the 02 sims after the header inorder to lose the SES, or is it only needed in some cases, like mine. The reason I ask is b/c I thought the reason why I kept the cats in was so that I wouldn't get the SES light.
Schmidt519 04-14-2005, 01:10 PM Also are the 02 sims plug and play or do you still need programming inorder for the SES to go off.
silv3rsw33t 04-14-2005, 02:58 PM When I put on my headers I was able to drive for about a month before my SES came on. After checking and rechecking everything twice I decided to pull my O2's out to check them and I discovered that I had accidently got anti-seize on them and when I checked with my local garage they said after time the chemicals in the anti-seize cause the sensor to malfunction. Just thought I would pass along some info. Also I bought a scanmaster, the best tool for the $$$ since that is what I used to clear the code. Good luck!

Kataklysm 04-14-2005, 03:21 PM I got O2 sims and the light is still on...gonna have them tuned out.
Schmidt519 04-14-2005, 05:38 PM I got O2 sims and the light is still on...gonna have them tuned out.
Is there a point to buying the sims if i'm going to tune them out anyway.
ls1650 04-14-2005, 05:59 PM the o2 sims should take care of your problem. i think it was 95 or 96+ when the cars needed the o2 sims to turn the ses off.
Kataklysm 04-14-2005, 07:41 PM If you are going to get the PCM tuned and have those sensors programmed out don't bother with the sims, it would be a waste of money. What I would do would be cut the harness of the old O2 sensors that you won't be using anymore and plug them in just to keep the connector from getting hogged out.
Need the exact code. Get that and then email me. jason@durhamcons.com

Which code are you referring to
myslowcamaro 04-15-2005, 07:23 PM if you have a scanner or take it to a shop, they plug it into the diagnostic port under the dash and it will throw a code like po314 or something of that nature. thats what hes looking for.

Yea thats what I thought he was talking about, need to take it back to AutoZone then, thanks.
Slow, how are you making out with your car, back in one piece.

good news and bad. my car dynoed at 434.6 rwhp, but something broke and noone will tell me what. so i still dont have my car. told i will have it back wednesday. something must have gave during the pull, i wanted a dynograph before i got the car back. when i finally get it back i want to have an independant dyno pull and ill post that.
blind527 04-18-2005, 02:16 PM I will need 2 front o2 extensions as I am getting the rears deleted. People have told me to wait 2 weeks to put the extensions on? Would I lose performance if I did that?

I didn't have my extentions put in until more then a week after installing my headers, and I needed notice any difference from before and after putting them on.
