Did you make sure all the plug wires are plugged in. You may think they are, but if you left those metal heat shields (I guess?) on your wire then you may have streched out the springs that are on there. This will make your wire want to pop off the plug, your car misses, and boom SES light. Nope, never seen that happen...twice...three times... ok, it happened 4 times I swear.

Uh.... Lessee....

You are running an ORP w/ yer headers. No programming or O2 sims, right? And you can't figure out why you have an SES...

Hmmm....

First off, yer gonna need some HO2S simulators ("O2 sims") in the aft (of where yer cats were) bungs. Or, you need to have yer PCM programmed to eliminate the message that there are no cats...

Then, reset the PCM. Voila!
