5.2 catalytic deletion.
I'm believing there has to be a certain amount of back pressure for the O2 sensors to respond correctly. What is the best way to correct this?? ECM update??, Install High Flow Cat? that I don't really want to do??...Any REAL HELP would be Greatly Appreciated!!...

Hello, if you're claiming the deleted cat should not effect the Pre O2 sensor, then why is mine running like crap!!...My torque app shows the sensor incomplete? A new O2 sensor was installed when I deleted the cat and dual exhaust done.

The sensor reads exhaust flow, it really doesn't care if there is a cat after it or not.

That's the right brand at least.
I think there is a fair bit that needs to happen before all the monitors will show complete. I do believe there is a list in the service manual.
But, there are a lot of reasons it can run like crap. Some as simple as a corroded distributor cap, all the way to burnt valves.

It has a new cap and rotor, not sure about the wires but they are aftermarket. I just bought this van, so I'm trying to get it right!!, and I'm not a Dodge man!!.. Chevy's most of my 62 years!!... The motor run better before I had the dual exhaust installed and cat removed!!....that's why I joined this site because I seen where someone else had the same situation.
