From looking at the list of codes, I am going to guess that it is P0134 (Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected) which would have been caused by cranking the car without Bank 1 Sensor 1 install...
So it quite possibly might throw 2 codes by time everything is said and done?
I dont understand how 18mm long spark plug anti-fouler will trick the system into thinking that the cat is in there. Could you plz attempt to explain why? Just merely curious of how things work...
The primary o2 sensor measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gasses after combustion so it can adjust the amount of fuel being delivered. The second o2 sensor, uncle sam's o2 sensor, the one after the catalytic convertor, doesn't want to see much, if any o2. It is there simply to make sure the catalytic convertor is working. Any o2 should be used by the convertor to oxidize hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, and is formed when nitric oxides are broken down. So if you pull the o2 sensor back out of the exhaust stream and shroud it, it samples the same gasses over and over using up the oxygen in the pocket you created, it sees a steady voltage consistant with low o2 levels and fools the ECU.
P.S. Don't drive to gainsville, come down here and I'll fix it for you cheap.
