Default Car has life again

Today we took out the 02 simulator the previous owner had installed. I couldn't believe the difference it made. I didn't realize how much it was screwing with the car. Before the gas pedal was a bit heavy sometimes and I would get an occasional stutter.

Now with it removed I can chirp through second with ease. One problem is now I have the check engine because of the test pipe. What can you guys reccomend for a new simulator. I don't want to go through what I did before. I am excited because my car should be a cell free machine now except for the test pipe, and its about time .

Thanks for the help in previous threads, please post comments on your experiences with the simulator you use.

I used a Ziptech/ECG 5 wire without any problems, just need to have good wiring connections.

I now use a Comptech 02 terminator which is much easier to install.

to get rid of the CEL b/c of test pipe, just get a spark plug extension/adapter, drill out center, and atttack OS2 to that, it pulls the sensor away from pipe, and works.
