How do you reset the pcm

PC there's a quicker and cheaper fix. Check this out go to the autoparts store and buy a spark plug non fouler they are 18mm which is the exact thread of your O2's. Put the lower end in a vise and snug it down. Take a hacksaw or a cutting tool and cut off the top octagon ( stop sign looking, like you could put a socket on it )portion off and toss the rest. Take drill and drill a hole in the location you are installing the O2 ( measure the correct location) weld that on and you have an O2 bung. I just did mine last week after replacing the straight pipe than ran between the cat and the tail pipes. Total cost $7 which included the welding. I do have a question what size is the cat AIM was referring to? Name of it?

I've heard of the fix before, it was mentioned as well in my thread I posted a few days ago when I threw a code. Honestly I don't know if it will pass visual inspection for my state which is why im very hesitant on doing it. Aim was talking about the 99xxx series cat's btw.

Want to pay for my new one? There is a difference, but I just dropped $140 total to put a highflow into my truck six months ago. That cat is not working so now I have to replace it with a "bigger" cat to keep with emission standards. I kinda disapointed with the forum a bit since so many people recommend them, but then at the same time they get a check engine light for it down the line. I didn't find out till the other day just how many there were that had this problem. Aim has found a bigger cat, but its still a thorn in my side knowing that I just dropped $140. Well the new cat costs around $130 local + I need pipe to run from the cat to the muffler since the stock pipe is very fragile. Add in the o2 bung, install, etc.. Looking at $200 minimum I fear. I should have just left the perfectly good stock cat still in the truck. Lesson Learned!

I suppose you could start by cleaning the TB and IAC. Remove the negative battery cable before the procedure.
