Default will a utec help

i have an 04 and the SES light loves to be on, i have replaced both cat o2 sensors with the non-fouler method now im replacing both header o2 sensors. i have been throwing codes p1283, p1274, p1167 ect. all codes that deal with o2 sensors. i have reseted the ECU even took it to the dealer, they have been cool about all my mods. so im thinking a utec and a tune is needed. i have a CAI, plenum spacer, headers, Crawford HFC, Exhaust. so after each ECU reset the SES coming on about 40-50 miles after the reset. could it be the connector that the cat o2 sensors hooks up to and not the sensor it self? or just get a utec and full dyno tune?

Utec doesn't clear codes on the ECU.

We can help you clear them and keep them cleared. Just give us a listing of codes you need blocked when ordering the product. Or come up to the shop and we can do a full custom dyno tune for you since you're so close.

cool, thats what im looking for a full tune. thats why i was thinking a utec and tune, to not just clear the codes but fix the a/f ratio that keep throwing the codes. plus utec can tune for a wet nitrous kit. do ya'll do that as well? is it a reflash that ya'll do to tune the car? where in austin are you located?

Depends on what mods you have and how far you want to go. If your NA get a flash or cipher/oiris.

Way to not answer the question and push your product at the same time.

Shameless

Shameless how? Please do explain how a Utec will solve his issues. I'd also like to know how our product would not solve his tuning needs.

If your going to stay with NOS go with Uprev. A Utec will work to but you have to have someone local tune it for you. First I would call around and find what tuners in your area are firmilar with what EMS's. I ran a 75 wet shot with no tune just had 1 step cold copper NGK's. Once you get to a 100 shot you need a tune to take away timing. But to be safe get it tuned for the nitrous.
