So who here has stuffed the brillo and still didn't get rid of the CEL?

What engine do you have?

 

Well today I made it up under the car. I thought I was hearing a exhaust leak. I was right. I am sure this is what causing my code.
I am going to contact Berk an see what they will do for me.

Enjoy

 

Saturday I drove 110 miles on this tank with Sea-Foam in the tank and back to Shell V-Power Gas. The light did not come on, and the car actually ran better! It came on last time after 20 miles or so. So it was either the Chevron gas, or the car needed some fuel cleaner ran through it to keep it from throwing the light on again. As of today I have driven about 140 miles no light.

 

This has me worried. Why are the Berks cracking so much? Why doesn't Berk fix the cracking issues?

 

I was not aware of this. Never the less I have sent a PM to Berk. I guess will see what they will do for me.
Any chance you have link to a thread? I am going to try searching to see what I find on the Berk cracking.

 

No link, just seen it a lot on here.

 

Yeaa. I searched an found two real good ones. Seems that Berk replace them under warranty for the guys.

 

Hi Chad,

It looks like you have one of our early HFC's from 2007? If they are under warranty we will absolutely replace them for you at no charge. Just forward on your info.

BERK has the lowest cracking rate & CEL rate out of all of the manufacturers. You see BERK HFC's mentioned the most on the forums because we sell more HFC's than all of the other manufacturers combined. So it's just a matter of numbers and incidents.

Regards,
BERK TECHNOLOGY

 

Thank you. I have been very pleased with them. I installed them around the 10K. I am at 17k now. Also I have sent you a PM with all the info I could find from when I got them.

Again, Thank you

 

any fix?

 

update?

 

Okay, my cel came back on today after another 600 miles..

I also received my SS wool from Berk, so I will install that Friday.

 

What ended up happening with this... anyone?

 

It comes back. Just erase them or get tuned with software that has the capability of removing them for good.

 

Yeah... but some that have had this code... it's been actual intake leaks ie. actual mechanical issues that needed fixing. A tune won't take care of mechanical issues.

 

Hey, hate to revive an old thread but, gonna do it anyways. So I have an '03 w/ Kynetix HFCs and as of yet no CEL. Problem is, I inherited a pair of Strup TPs that I really want to put on, but I'm worried about the car not passing smog inspection, as the USAF is shipping me out to HI and my Z is my DD. I did my homework (somewhat) and it appears that the only 2 solutions provided so far were the non-foulers and the wiring fix. I used to have a CEL eliminator on my old RSX that physically moved the O2 sensor away from the airflow (nothing more than an L shaped pipe), fixing the problem and making the car pass smog in the process. This is basically the same idea/concept as the non-foulers with brillo, but I'm lazy, clumsy, and don't mind paying the $30, so I was curious if anybody makes such a product that is for sale (I believe the one on my RSX was Strup), and if it would even work w/ our cars to eliminate the CEL and make the car pass smog??? Thanx in advance guys!

 

**UPDATE** So I said "to hell w/ it" and put my strup testpipes on the other day, decided to follow the same principal as the CEL eliminator on my RSX and move the 02 as far from the exhaust flow as I could, and it actually worked for both the CEL and Smog! (I don't know how my setup passed smog, I was frickin shocked). I used 2 sets of the Vibrant racing 02 spacers (as in 2 spacers on each TP) w/ interchangable donut washer like rings, first spacer w/ a medium one and second spacer w/ the smaller one. The only downside is that the car is running a little bit richer now, but I am resetting my ecu today, and that might solve it. I hope this is useful for some of u guys for passing OBD2 smog w/ tps. (Find a place where they dont look under the car lol)

Also, did even more homework, this time on HI emissions laws, turns out they have none ... So not really a problem anymore anyways.

 

Can anyone help? Recently I change my HFC in my 2007 350. I changed the 2 new 02 sensors, 2 non-fouler each side, and stuff with stainless steel wool, and no gas leak....but my car still throw me a P0420 and P0430. WHats going on? Anyone who can help?THanks

 

I have something that may help. PM'd.
