as an old post states i have recieved a c.e.l which reads code above-catalyst below threshold bank one.
i was told it would be due to a de-cat although i still have o/e cat on for now but the car hasnt been running any worse in fact i cant tell any differance at all.i do get a few more pops from the exhaust than i used too tho but i suspected a weeping gasket.
Anyway,main reason for this post is wondering why my c.e.l (which is on)started flashing on/off for about 5 seconds last night when driving on the by-pass.
what exactly does low threshold mean and does it mean my cats on its way out??? any help appreciated.

right.just read thru the archives and found a handy cel fix by Hades.
if i fit the resistor to the o2sensor will this automatically clear the light or will it have to be cleared by me/garage??

If you've still got the standard downpipe cat fitted to the car then it means the cat is basically knackered, a cel fix would get rid of the light but wouldnt fix the underlying problem you have got..

This is actually quite a common problem on bugeye's - doesnt necessarily mean your cats duff.....get the code cleared and see how if/how long it take to come on again
