Smile CEL gone!

I recently put an exhuast and test pipes on my 05 350z and i got a CEL cause i didnt have CATs on it anymore so im guessing it was reading to rich but i solved the problem by buying 2 packs of (HELP! Spark Plug Non-Foulers) part # 42002 or 42009 eaither will work from Pep Boys or AutoZone they come in packs of 2 so youll have 4 total all i did was take 2 use a 1/2 drill bit to empt it out put the NON drilled ones into the test pipe then the DRILLED ones into the NON drilled ones then 02 sensor restarted the ECU an the light was gone cool an enxpensive way to fix the problem hope it helps some of you out

Or you could have had the dealership reprogram your ECU.

If a dealership "reprogrammed" your ecu to run fine without the cats... Illegal






OP must have EXTREMELY slow internet... I assume he pressed "submit" around 4 years ago and it just loaded.

You guys are sure being harsh. Freak is a newby and he was just trying to share some information he had just discovered. I give him an A+ for trying.
And congrats on the new car.
