02 sensor simulator?
Alright, so basically my cars throwing codes left and right for the o2 sensors/ cat converter.
I heard of 02 sensor simulators that would possibly take care of that.
Was wondering if anyone had any previous experience with them/ if they knew where I could buy one.
It's a 2000 se btw.
Thanks guys -Spence'

Anyone wanna put down some input on this?

I have a 420 and a 430 that this could "supposedly" clear

You can have the same effect by using two saprk anti foulers..

cool good luck. let us know how much u gottem for and where.
I've heard some things about how these non foulers tend to stop working after about half a year or a year and need to be replaced. I'm wondering what's more cost effective to use

I have a buddy that has a vw that the antifoulers didn't work for long. So in my experience success is hit or miss.

I installed a simulator from o2simulator.com last summer and cleared the codes and its worked perfectly. As stated before though they are not taking new orders right now. It was a pretty easy install and saved a boat load of $$ on the sensor I needed to replace. Good luck.

Just did it today. There were tornado warnings outside so I figured might as well mess with the maxima inside.
Went to pep boys today and got a small tube of anti-seize lubricant and the 18mm spark plug non foulers. $2 for the lube, $5 for the non foulers.
This link leads to a link that's very explaining to the whole process

I've driven 60 miles so far, I'm waiting for the 100 mile mark to let my emission system cycle through. Crossing my fingers for no check engine light!

This weekend, my "Check Engine" light came on and I got the PO420 code:
" Catalyst System Effeciency below Threshold bank 1 "
It cut off yesterday I think, but I need some feedback. The whip has 117,050 miles on it.

Bought an o2 sim about three months ago at o2simulator.com. Definetly the best way to go. I have 1200 miles on the car since the install and still have no problems. Best 40 dollars spent on the car to date. Let me know what you decide to do.

P0116 is "ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR". I can't find much on this, just stuff on check the wire harness to the sensor and then check the sensor itself.
#21
Only one way to find out. I'll do it this week, I've put worse things in my gas tank before. (Acetone, seafoam, etc.) Might as well do this one as well haha
#23
I've been running non-foulers on my car for a year now, CEL-free. I only used one non-fouler on each of the secondaries and the code went away after a day or two (100 miles or whatever the cycle is) and it never came back.
#24
Alright, so I had done the non fouler trick on my front o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold, but I don't believe that it was the best idea for a quick fix per say. My car started running a bit rich and I noticed a possible decrease in gas mileage.
Got the codes pulled today:
P0430-Cat efficiency below threshold bank 2
P0153-Air fuel sensor 1 bank 2 circuit slow response
P0138-Heated 02 sensor-bank 1 sensor 2
P1440-Evap control system small leak
So where should I go from here? Replace the front o2 sensor to possibly throw a better reading through the cat/other o2's and possibly take care of that light and see where that goes at first?
Thanks alot guys-Spence'

Hoping someone could give me a hand here. Kinda new to the org and thought this was the right thread to ask for advice. I have a 02 maxima with hot shot headers and in need of help tryin to find the microchip sim. Since o2simulators.com have been on back order since god knows when wondering if anyone knew of a similar site to buy from.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, and my inspection is up next month. I could not find any sites in the last few days of searching. I went through many different threads and found nothing. Ill give them a try and see how it goes.
