Are you sure? I thought the second sensor was just a snitch

Yeah, I've done that. It still always manages to come back on. Don't understand why. Car runs perfectly fine

what kind of defouler? i remember i tried using hanzel's defouler and that sucker didn't work! it was from one of the DIY threads.

ended up buying a legit defouler and that one worked. it wasn't worth the headache and going back and forth to the store, so i invested about $15 for one.

I'm not using one at the moment, just have the o2 plugged into the CEL fix.....Even though my CEL turned back on.
Tomorrow i'll be trying out spark plug defoulers to space it out even farther. If that doesn't work then i guess im S.O.L and will have to deal with seeing it everyday. Haha

goodluck! the difference between the DIY and legit defouler, is just that one is stainless steel and the other was just aluminum.

Best to cure the issue, as the CEL can help flag other important problems.
