If so what chip are you running?

It's popping up everyday on my car now and I've got the angle-block on order but I thought with the cat in place the car was supposed to be happy. I'm curious if cars with different programming work better than others. I'm running OCT.

Default Not yet, I should have the angle spacer in a couple weeks

which I'm sure will work. Was just wondering if maybe APR or Revo cars are somehow tuned so that they don't get a CEL or if all cars will get it.

Default I don't think I've had that error code yet.

I'll double check my logs, I vagged the car a week or two ago- had a CEL- but it wasn't for that, IIRC.

Gonna pop the test pipe on there sometime. Got the angle block already...
