Did I do something wrong?

RE: Friend

I gutted out my cat the other day which was easy enough, and now my jeep runs a hell of alot smoother.......however I went from increased power(K&N filter air restrictor removed etc..) back to gutless YJ. do you think a new O2 sensor may help or should I go for a whole new exhaust? Or am I not even close to the real problem.

You may be suffering from a lack of exhaust pressure.

RE: Performance Ignition for TJ

would this show up on the YJ's computer if i had it checked out ? And if it is the problem is there a simple fix I can do at home without replacing the cat?

RE: clutch problems

I think a lot of the newer engines require some amount of back pressure from the cat to perform correctly. Removing the cat or gutting it will have a negative effect on engine performance.

how to reset the ecu?

You don't have an O2 sensor after the cat do you?

 

[sicnik]

no the O2 is up by the engine, thats why I got rid of the cat didnt think it would have any effect on the engine

RE: Uneven brake shoe wear

Mudwoman removed her cat a couple years before I met her ('94 YJ). "Li'l Red" still runs fine and is not nearly as gutless as my '03 TJ (2.4L). 'Course the CEL is on all the time, but...........................

Its been a week now and no CEL, so I dont think I screwed too much up.
