    lol cant really remember all of it. like i said barely had any time with it. there really wasn't very much to monitor or nothing helpfull at least. thats why im giving you things like the pulse widths. the eclipse wasn't even giving us rpms or the usual things you would want to monitor. when i had my celica hooked up it was everything you could ever want and more. eclipse its like battery voltage and random things like fuel tank preasure. hopefully we can take it out again tomorrow though and i can get more time to check things

      check the boost leaks your self. you can build a tool for like $5.

      why did he change the BOV?

        OWNED. and what SmitEvo says is true.

        but before you do that get your self a wideband and boost gauge.

          We have a MAF here to test. An O2 simulator simply shows the ECU that the cat is working correctly. It gives it a constant voltage reading like the second O2 would be doing.

          Was this done at full throttle? I know when I tested it myself, it seemed to drive fine after a few minutes. Definately check boost leaks.

          At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

              well, if there wasnt a leak before and you mess with stuff, then that could change that. and you have no idea if the mechanic he took it to could actually test it.

                  I would bet it has a somewhat large boost leak. It fits the symptoms perfectly.

                      I believe that the ECU requires the O2 sensor to switch between .7 or whatever and 0 otherwise it will set a code

                        with the test pipe the check engine light was on..then i cleared it about 3 months ago and it hasent come on since.....but i need to find a stock cat for cheap first...because the test pipe doesnt do anything anyway..

                            The cat is not the root of your problems. From what Frank was saying you have your BOV duct taped on and you hacked up the stock plastic IC pipe to make it all fit up. For starters, fix that setup right and move on from there.

                            "Just because you know it all doesn't mean you can do it all"

                              not the downstream 02. the down stream 02 usually doesnt change its voltage much. it doesnt switch from 0-1 v like the upstream 02.
