Default P1167, P1166, P1147, P1146, P0159 - Failed Inspection.

Ok, so my thought is that I have all these codes because of my test pipes. I do have the anti-foulers installed, but that clearly isn't working.

Now my question is if I might just have bad rear O2 sensors or not. Any thoughts on how I can get rid of my CEL? I have to get my car tagged/inspected before the end of the month and it won't pass with a CEL.

Thanks ...

Put the cats back on and then have it inspected.

You probably don't have bad 02's...this is why if you live in a smog state you should always keep your oem parts. Luckily there are some cheap ones in the classified section, just search. Best of luck.

Turns out that both of my rear sensors were loose .. weird. As far as inspection goes, they only check the ECU for codes, no sniffer test. So as long as there is no CEL, I pass.

You can pass the OBD! Just know the regs for your state...

Yep, I know them. The whole problem was the CEL, as long as that's not on and there are no codes coming from the ECU I'll pass.
