My check engine light is on because the O2 sensor that is suppose to be in the headers isn't there, and I have been told that once I put it there it will go off.

na we really don't.. unless its some private garage that will do it.. but any chain shops like autozone in your area wont have that down here..


Yeah you do, we've found them up there before.

Go around and call every auto shop in your area.

If that's too time consuming, go buy a scanner from Wal Mart or some other store and return it when you are done using it.

if that's the last thing you did, i'd check that AIT sensor on the CAI. It tends to get pulled a bit. it happened to me and caused a CEL. So i lengthened the wires. I havn't had a problem since. Remeber that the tiburon takes 2 times being turned on and off (drive cycles) to realize there's a fault. IE. turn on car, fault, turn off car, turn on car, fault, check engine light. think back, maybe you hit a bigassed pothole?

QUOTE
sometimes the O2 sensors will make the check engine light go off and if anybody reading this can verify that info it would be much appreciated because mine is on too and all i did was put my headers in
from what i've read you have to do the sensor relocation on the RD2 tiburon or it will throw a CEL because the catalytic converter is on the downpipe.
