Default Test pipes problem?

I just intalled my test pipes on my Z and i drove off and everything was cool. The next day i started my car and drove down the block and the "service engine soon" light came on... How do i get it to go away? (I'm sure you guys have seen this post a million times, sorry!) Thanks!

I use the code reader every now and then to clear the persistent codes. But a lot of the time it clears itself up after a few days...

You can get one at any autozone/pepboys/kragen for less than $100.00. Actron(sp) is the ones I have. I have a base model that was like $50.00 that I keep in the wifes car and a Model with more functions that I got for $99.00 that I keep in my Z. Comes with the CD that has all the SES codes, but the reader itself spells out what is wrong and also give you the code.

I have had my SES light on since I install my TP w/ nonfowlers. Had the code pull and it is the O2 senors. Any other suggestions?

Get two packs of HELP! Spark plug nonfoulers - part number 42002 or 42009 (either will work) - these are readily available at Autozone, Checker, Pep Boys, etc.
Drill ONLY 2 of the nonfoulers out with a 1/2" drill bit. Fit 1 NON-drilled fouler into each test pipe. Fit 1 drilled nonfouler into the previously installed undrilled fouler on each bank. Finally insert your o2 sensor into the drilled nonfouler and reconnect the wires.

No need to since the SES light will most likely not turn on 03 models.

04+..Get the non foulers.

I have an 03 with non foulers, and they CEL has come on as well. I got the code pulled its P0441: "The PCM has determined that the purge flow in the evaporative emission control system is incorrect for the current engine operating conditions." Any help?

Was tighting my belts today and notice my left O2 Senor harness wasn't plugged in all the way. Disconnected my battery for about an hour and now the SES is gone.
