Installing header, check engine light??
so i got my header, i went to install which i thought would be easy but there is a few very rusted bolts on there that i cant get out.
all i took off was the heat shields, i unbolted the echaust manifold bolts too, and the oxygen sensor...but i decided to not waste my time on it and just bring it to someone with the rite tools for the job so i put everything back together, i fired up my vehicle and the check engine light came on!! so i went over everything and i forgot to tightned up my oxygen sensor!! so i did that but now it is still on.....does anybody have a clue of what the fu** is going on....maybe torque specs?? i have no idea, now im not only going to bring it to the shop to get my header install but also to check that stupid light...

yea i used a torch too and most of them came off but the one connecting to the cat is just brutal...so i said **** it i rather pay somebody to do it i got sick of it....tomorrow i will try disconnecting the battery and connecting it again....w.e. it is it cant be anything mayor but i will have the shop check it out i work 12 hours a day 7 days a week and tomorrow is my only day off and i got no time to be messing with that ****....
these pacesetter header did come with the y pipe and connector to cat converter i didnt think it would...hopefully tomorrow that damn lite will go off its annoying me!!
