Check engine light w/ mechanical fix
What exactly is a mechanical fix? is it putting a cat in between the two 02 sensors?

why the **** would you want to put another cat in there when you possibly could have just spent over $1200 getting rid of them?
mechanical cel fix is deleting the egt probe on 02-05 wrx's by putting a 2.2k ohm 1/2 watt resistor in its place |

I just took an anti fouler adapter, put it in a vice, used my el cheapo harbor freight drill press, and drilled a bigger hole in the bottom end.
I made sure the hole was just big enough to pass the bottom end of the oxygen sensor. The annulus is about about a 1/32" gap. This has worked for me since I went utec Stg 3. The set up looks stock, just about 3/8" further out. I didn't expect it to work this well, after seeing all the complex ones that had been done before. Mine is located after the high flow catalyst, which may make the difference between mine and more "extended" ones. |
