The berks have non foulers already installed. I filled the opening with the steel wool and I even went back and added more after I got the light again and it did not help.

make sure to post how you did it when you figure it out, thanks

on a different note, didn't uprev use your car for some testing / developing? you can't turn it off with osiris? maybe talk to uprev see if they can help come up with a solution...

Well it comes on after so many cycles. I drive 5 miles to work and home, and a few days is all it took for that.

UPREV did, and they said yes it can be done. But when that happens no idea. No steel wool yet.

Do you warm up your car in the morning? Or just start and go?

Update! I just got done driving 110 miles on this tank with Sea-Foam in the tank and back to Shell V-Power Gas. The light did not come on, and the car actually ran better! It came on last time after 20 miles or so. So it was either the Chevron gas, or the car needed some fuel cleaner ran through it to keep it from throwing the light on again. I will keep you guys posted.

was your car tuned after you got the hi flow cats? or did you get a tune, then add the cats and didn't have a chance to retune yet?
