I have heard about the resistor fix 2.2 kohm/0.5w is this correct. Where is best to get this from, iwas going to try maplin in the morning.

Maplin will have them I have just got some.I keep on having problems with my egt sensor(code 546) gonna take it out and fit a bung in its place the last one that went had snapped off and was lying in the bottom of my exhaust very lucky it didnt get picked up and and sucked through the turbo full de cat by the way.

I thought all of the CEL's thrown up by a de-cat could be mapped out ....P0420 etc

Code 546 is a new one one me !!!

MY02 bugeye with a de-cat and EcuTeK 3

 

It can if you've got the right ecu!

 

Hmmmmm MY99 ish then Mark ??

 

this is on an o2 bugeye if it makes any difference

I had real problems with the CEL light on my de-cat bugeye. I even bought a Scoobysport CEL fix which I think was £70. It reduced the CELS but not totally.

When I has the EcuTeK re-map Bob Rawle "mapped out" the CELs for me.

Apparantly the Bugeye ECU needs to "see" some fluctuations in the sensor, if not then it decides the CAT or sensor isn't working and sends out the the "below efficiency" P0420 CEL. Thats why the Scoobysport fix didn't work.

If you only have the up-pipe de-catted then the code will be for an EGT error (P0545 or P0546) not the (P0420) code which is for the centre section sensor which will only come on after a downpipe de-cat.

Thanks Zippy

 

Mark,
I have just done the fix this morning and it works,start and stop your car about 5 times and the cell light goes of ......sorted... midlife dont forget my bugeye hasnt been teked yet that will be happening in the new year once I have collected all the bits together, Im also waiting to see what the frount mount looks like that Harvey might be getting in the new year to fit the bugeyes from america.

 

I have a cel fix unit going spare just plug it in and forget it
