Default Plug and Play o2 Simulator?

Anyone know where i can find one? Would clean up alot wiring in the engine bay and just be alot simpler. I've heard of PNP simulators before but i could only find ones that had to be spliced into the stock o2 sensor wires.

why do you need one? find out why you have a CEL first [8D]

do you have a picture of your engine bay? I don't see it in your gallery

"pretty sure" could mean the difference between your motor running for another 5 miles, or 100,000. Find out why you have a CEL, be positive

67 = P0420 = Catalyst system efficiency below threshold

here's a cheaper fix, the spark plug anti-fouler, AKA the "spacer" trick

67: catalytic converter.....or is the P0420 code just a more in-depth version of the catalytic converter code? I'm thinking the cheap high-flow cat combined with the spliced/extended secondary o2 sensor and no simulator is causing this light. I think the simulator would fix any CEL's dealing with this whole thing though.

it is the exact same thing. P0420 is the OBD2 code as it shows up on the scanner. If you were to take the car to a shop and have them scan it, it would say "P0420." Here is a list of codes where you will see 67 = P0420.

"Catalyst system efficiency below threshold" roughly translated into ricer speak: "cat no worky!"

I think you should read the scoobymods link I posted above, which is an alternative to a simulator

i read the Scooby one MXS, i've seen similar things like that, but to even get the o2 sensor to reach the 2nd sensor bung you have to extend the wires, so why not just wire the o2 simulator in while your working on it?
