I have a 1997 Cobra with Full length LT headers by hooker, I also have the o/r x pipe from hooker as well. I have o2 sims on my rear o2 sensors and my front o2 sensors are just inserted and hooked up. I am throwing a check engine light though... PLEASE HELP i wish to be rid of this! thanks

connections

recheck the connections on the o2 sensors, if that doesn't fix it, drive to auto zone they will tell you exactly what it is for free

Yea let us know what the code is.. I had the same problem, and it turned out after some code pulling and some re-checking, that I had a loose wire on the driver side front o2 sensor where I extended it.

They said that the code was just saying bank one and 2 had problems. They said it didnt elaborate on which sensor so it probably was not one individual sensor.

they will tell you exactly what the code is... thats about it.. they are not qualified to diagnose cars...
