Need a simple cheap tune - Turn off O2's after cats in Jersey/DE/PA area.
I need a shop in the Jersey/DE/PA area that can turn off the Rear O'2 on a 2001 V6 Camaro so It can pass inspection. It's throwing the codes for o2 Failure. I called a shop and that want $150 for 5 minutes worth of work. I'm looking to hire a more reasonably priced person to do this simple task. Can anyone assist me?

Well its going to be $100 worth of credits so it'll be atleast that much, FYI...
|
Someone I know has (HPtuners?) software that will let him access/modify any 2000 F-Body without purchasing additional credits--Just the price he paid for the unit. I'm not sure if there is a similar option for 2001 VINs, so I'm raising the question to the club now...
|
Ok thanks. My girlfriends 2001 is on its THIRD SET of CATS. It's complete non-sense to put new ones in.
Let know . |
my program (that mike mentioned) is an old serial version of hptuners
I can edit any 2000 v8 car, but unfortunately they got smart and wanted more money so now when you buy their program (very pricey) you have to buy the license for whatever car and then credits for each vin I believe. I don't think you're really going to beat $150 unless you find someone with hptuners locally that's not looking for much (if any) profit is it actually modified? or are you just trying to avoid replacing o2's? mail order tune is another option and might at least get you a few hp if it's modified in addition to getting through inspection for the same price as the shop just tuning out sensors at least there's also the spark plug non fouler trick, google it and see if you can trick the car to at least not throw the code. I don't hear of it much on fbody forums but it works on some cars with aftermarket or missing cats. |

No idea why the cats dont last, she's been taking it to her mechanic for the emissions issue.
It's a V6 and she's a chick so horsepower means nothing to her. Could a mail order tune be set to improve MPG? |
The car has no mods, the mechanic says its not the O2's. This is supposedly a friend of the family so I doubt he's lieing.
I just remember paying $175 for a complete tune on my 01 SS 3 years ago from Chummma so I thought a simple minute long edit would be cheaper, but HPtuners charging a 100 a car it a lot. |
Has the cat back ever been changed?
|
No. It's stock
