Anyone get any codes after installing the bung?

 

Im still good. It never came back.

 

Yes.

Didnt install the bung. It came with it.

I dont seem to be running lean. The code persist.

Have been told to use an auto logic tool to reset ECU.

 

Knock on wood - after almost 2 months - still no code - and I have not installed the bung.

 

Yes, I'm getting code's a p2096 (post cat fuel trim system to lean) this one comes up every 3-4 day's and one p0136 (o2 sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 2) this one has only showed up once and cleared with ease. I've got the p2096 code maybe 8 or 10 times after installing the "j" bung shorty header the first was 2 days after the install and I thought that it was due to not having the car tuned. But after the tune (232 whp/190 tq by the way) it come's back after 3-4 day's for no real reason, I mean if I flog it might show up or take just a nice easy cruse it appears on the next start up. I have only once had the light come on while I have been driving. I am thinking that maybe the post cat sensor is going bad but at $200 a pop I want to have that p0136 code show up and not be able to clear it. I did extend the wire harness on both of the sensors so they fit the header better since the sensor ports are at a differient location from the stock header.The post cat sensor wire's are maybe 4-6 inches longer and I am wondering if since the ecu is comparing the two signal's if the wire lenght is causing a issue? I'm thinking that I've got the wiring correct or I would be tossing a p0136 code all the time I guess time will tell.

 

I left my wire the same length Arty.. I have gotten a SES light twice now. The first time I wiggled the closest O2 cable and it went away.. don't know if it was because of the wiggle or just something else.

How are you checking the code BTW? I'll have to swing out by your place tonight, I have the SES up on mine right now.

 

I keep a code reader around, your welcome to swing by me here or at home and i can help you check your codes...

 

You are way out there man! You going to be home tonight? I could swing by after work if you are cool with it. I'll buy your a$$ a beer

 

Adam let me know if it or they are the same codes p2096, if you don't hook up with susi,Autozone or Checker will read and erase your code's.

 

fixed..

 

You know what.. that is pretty funny because he had a rockstar in his hand when I got there.

 

I had a 0420 Code that was cleared out. I spoke with Jan and he is going take care of it for me with the bung.

 

Haha, liquid crack...

0420 code? that header smokin that green?
J-bungs fix everything...

 

Not for me

 

I went from a P0420 (Cat efficiency below threshold) to a P0139 (Sensor Circuit, Slow Response).

I think the bung needs to be shorter on my particular header, or have the orientation switched (currently it's curved towards the front of the car).

I'm sure all it'll take is a drive up to Long Beach for it to be solved!

 

for those of us who need to retro fit the new bung, is it a weld of screw type fitting into the existing bung?

 

ok guys if ur still getting a lean code after installing the bung u might want to try this...and i know its odd...ur fuel filter...i was pulling a p0036 code back i think in october..when it was under load in the mountains it would throw the code...come to find out my fuel filter was so dirty it was starving the engine...change the filter and give it a shot

 

Some nice info on the filter.
Thanks

 

+1

Something to try.

I didnt realize this was goign to be such a pain. I didnt add in the price of using tools to delete these codes into my header budget

 

scanguage 2..160$ and it clears the code...start the engine...once it shows the code is there turn the engine off but put it in acc posistion 2 and then clear the code

 

I understand that, BUT wont you just have to keep doing this over and over?

 

true but the code isnt an issue so i dont worry about it...doesnt affect the car in any way and ive driven a few thousand miles since then...plus as a added bonus its a multi guage computer which eliminates the need for other guages...i usually have up Intake Temp/Water Temp/Volts/boost

 

Untrue I did not buy a header to stare a a SES light

 

Well I jacked the car up and swaped the o2 sensors and cleared the p2096 code and then went out and drove the car after shut down and restart the same code came up soooo the sensors and my wire job should be good. Called Helix and Jan and talked it over and now Jan is going to send me a new header with a different bung on it. VERY COOL!!! I hope that this is the end of this issue.

 

Wow. Nice.

I am getting the EXACT same codes as you have. Getting frustrated. Buying a scanguage to constantly clear codes like someone suggested is rediculous.
