I have tried 4 anti-foulers stacked.

First one had a pinhole, and packed with steelwool. still got the CEL.

After what I've tried, I'd be amazed to see anyone who has fooled the ecu mechanically, but who knows....

I have CEL problems on MY08 with a HFC w/ 1 fix. I am now trying a second spacer so we will see if that works. Well I guess what i am trying to say is with an 06+ and in some cases any s2k, you are most likely going to trigger a CEL with anything but stock cat.

If my second fix doesnt work, I might just buy a scanner keep it in car and just clear the code every time it pops up.

I wouldn't do it myself your playing with the ecu and it would void warranty. If you gonna do some thing like that go with the hondata reflash still void warranty tho

Go to the hondata.com and there is something on there were you can search for vendor. Find a vendor then you give them your ecu they ship it to hondata. This is actually a good mod if you want to pick up some midrange and extend rev line, I am thinking of getting this later down the line.

So this would get ride of the CEL? I wasnt aware that it would help our issue.


Oh and again everyone keeps claiming that a HFC will solve all your problems but I still get a CEL on a MY08 with a HFC. Just installed a second CEL fix, we will see if that works. So far so good, but I can normally make it 30-40 miles before the light turns on. Will keep everyone posted.
