dipped the tip in carb cleaner for about a min., shaking it lightly. Then I took one of those cans of air that you use to get dust off computers and stuff and sprayed it to get any left over stuff out and to dry it up.

Just wiping it off is not going to help.

Looking down through it, does the CEL fix on your test pipe have a small hole where it connects to the test pipe or a larger one?

I highly reccomend cleaning aswell! Its very simple if you have a basic
understanding for mechanics or what parts do and do do, trouble shooting..ect. You can spray down with card cleaner and then dry or dip the o2 into a cup of gasoline, swish it around and then spray off wit compressed air like the computer cans crap. Re-install , rest ecm and your good

It doesn't matter if the berk has a welded in fix, it can still go off. Get 1 more fiix and make that little penis even longer, then get a muff shop to remove the light. Thats what ima do. My Invidia did the same thing to me. Now it will have 2x cel fix in one TP.

I agree, 2 fixes is not needed. That in all honesty is dumb. I takes the O2 sensor too far away. And like Toyofan says, it will make his car run like crap once the ecu self tunes for it seeing so little exhaust flow.

I had it the test pipe on my car na for about 3/4 a year, now I'm turbo'd and the CEL has not come on again after cleaning it way back when.
