BR TBE installed CEL PROB

Well I finally had a shop put my BR TBE on and my car threw me a Service Engine Soon. What is the best way to fix this so the light goes off?

You either need a extended 02 bung, Do the spark plug anti-fouler trick, Or an electronic 02 simulator.

I had this same problem with after the TBE swap, along with 1000 other people. I have had an extender on the O2 sensor (after the cat) for 2000 miles now, no light anymore. Its a two minute fix.

Since you got your stuff from BR, contact them about the SES light. They sent me the extension right out. Once you have it, unscrew the O2 sensor (between the cat and muffler), screw in the extension they sent you, screw the O2 sensor back into the extension.

Just get the part, crawl under there, and it will be so obvious that you might **** yourself.

^ Of course it does. Not to be a dick but I think common knowledge of automechanics is a must when modding cars.
