I had to experiment with the different lengths of the anti-foulers to get the right distance for the o2 sensor to be out of the stream but still sniff and not get a CEL.I nicked the cover of the o2 sensor and exposed the wires and no repair fixed the CEL.Bought a new o2 sensor.Not cheap!

I replaced what I had ruined.The new o2 sensor did not change the CEL.The anti-foulers come in different lengths so I experimented until the CEL stopped.I had to use one short and one long.

YOU NEED TO GET THE CODE(S) PULLED TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG (ie bad wiring if you pu an elect fix in or sensor seeing too much exhuast)

You can buy them on Ebay for 30 bucks.
