Installed o2 bung, still check engine light

I bought 90 degree o2 bungs from ebay (thinking it may solve the problem) p430 code showed up after installing exhaust do to hollowed out cats.

I ordered another set o2 bungs from maxspeed -which they are made for our cars to solve check engine light problem.

I know our ecu is sensitive on some cars: Have you solve this problem by installing o2 bungs?

90* bungs don't really matter who made them. its simply to remove the O2 sensor out of the stream form the front sensors. you did install the rear sensors into the bungs correct?

How many miles are on the sensors? They might just be going bad.

Rockauto sells them pretty cheap.

i installed bungs as i kept getting codes and could not pass inspection (im running 200 cel cats, still not sure why i couldnt pass), the cel kept coming on for a couple of months after i installed them (not driven very often at all), then it just randomly stopped coming on (my car is tuned) that was 6 months ago, everything has been fine since

i believe you test sensdors funcionality by moving the censors from pre cat to post cat, then if the code is the same its not the sensors its something else, if the code changes from pre-cat to post cat or vice versa then you'll know its the sensor(s)

I think you might be confusing this for swapping sensors left to right. The pre and post cat sensors are different part numbers and I don't think you want to swap those positions.

The rear sensors are something like $60 each.

40k on the car, I had no problem with stock exhaust- After installing the exhaust i put about 30-40miles, CE showed up.

I installed in rear location, you need 90* or you wont be able to fit them do to clearance.

No Tune, but when i visited Markski he flashed ecu, saying this should solve the problem for cat-less exhaust.

Maybe I mixed the sensors while installing the exhaust? I dont remember if length is the same for rear as for the front.

Is it ok to drive the car with p430 code? or its bad for the engine, and will it throw the car in limp mode?

Get the rear O2 sensors written out of the map !!! But you may need to leave them plugged in to avoid a heater fault coming up.
