Receive P0420 after installation of hi-flow cat.

Since the installation of a High-flow cat (Last october-ish) i will randomly get a CEL. Sometimes I get 1-2 CEL's a week. Other times I wont see it for a week or two, so the frequency varies greatly. I carry a code checker/clear tool everywhere I go so I clear the error.

I had thought that maybe I had a faulty cat and I ws trying to send it back.

Well, I was on another forum regarding my Dodge pick-up and I read where a few others installed a high-flow cat, yadda, yadda, yadda, now they intermittently get a CEL P0420 error code.

Anyways, there was another poster that replied talking about an O2 simulator.

I was wondering if anyone had heard of such a thing and if there was one available for our cars (Prelude 97-01).

Maybe even schematics?

I figured I cant be the only one on the planet running into such an issue.

Thanks

Yep, go buy to "HELP!" spark plug anti-foulers. Drill one with a 1/2" bit, then screw them together. Screw this into the cat, then screw in the O2 sensor.

I'll build you one for $18, .
