    you can try the mechanical fix, which is effectivly a spacer between the exhaust and the O2 sensor

    I am using a mechanical o2 fix which has been doing fine for over 6months.

    my dad also has a mechanical fix on his car and it's been doing fine (CEL came on once after it was installed but an ecu reset took care of it)

    Yes I realized it was a spacer, so it does work though. Also this may be a dumb question carl but how do you reset the ECU. Thanks

    unplug the car battery for 5-10 mins, hit the brakes several times (5-20 times) times or so while its unplugged, plug it back in.

    Just have someone with the cable flash it. Get rid of the code forever and pick up some power seems like a better use of funds.

    Not if you buy a tactrix cable and have a Windows based laptop.
