Default Getting test pipe CEL with spacers all a sudden

I have spacers on my secondary O2s, but I've recently started getting the CEL (Heated O2 Sensor 2 Bank 2; its always bank 2 by the way). It was fine for about 8000 miles, now I get these. Tried resetting fuel with Cipher and pedal ECU reset to no avail. Car has had a UTEC for a couple thousand miles, its running high 12s AFR under WOT.

Any ideas why this would start happening?

What year is your Z?

It's no big surprise to get CEL with test pipes.

Check this thread for one way of helping get rid of the CEL https://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/194001-test-pipe-ses-non-fouler-fix-pics.html

I'm not sure if by "spacers" you mean that you already did the non-fouler trick... if this is the case then I'm not sure how to help...

the pedal trick worked for me. try the pedal trick a few more times. start the car up before you try the trick again if you mess up. timing is everyting, use your watch to time it.

I can clear the light with the pedal or Cipher, but its been coming back fairly quickly. Oh, and yes, by spacers I mean the non-foulers.

I'll be getting TP's soon, but I'll probably won't get the non-foulers until after the install. Will I ruin my 02 sensors driving like that for a couple of days, or will I just throw the CEL until I get the non-foulers installed?
