you'd be much better off having the codes turned off. Sims are gonna be tough to find and expensive to buy more than likely.

Find a local tuner or shop i know there are several down yonder, if you post in the texas section you will probly get some hits. Also Check out some of our sponsers they can hook you up, you send your comp and they will take care of it and then send it back to you.

I can only imagine your pain. I go into Abilene about once a month. Your two best bets are already mentioned and almost the same distance away. As far as I know the closest places are either in Lubbuck or DFW are. If you want some info on shops I can point you in a good direction. You might even consider getting a full tune which will cost more, but I picked up 20+ RWHP and driveability just from a tune when my car was just exhaust and lid. (357 RWHP total).

I welded new 02 bungs onto my ORY and spaced them out enough where they don't throw any codes at all. You have to place them a little way back to get them to do this, call and ask a local performance shop to see if they can help you.

thanks for the info im just tryin to find a cheap way to fix it. I think the rear O2 sensors are the reason my car is acting up even tho you wouldnt think so since they are just for emmisons. but something is making my car not wanna shift after 50 mph sometimes. the car was running perfect before i put on the long tubes and unplugged the O2's so thats why i think this is the problem.

your rear O2s have absolutely no bearing on how your car acts, they just set a code and a light. Shoot me an email through my site or a PM here if you can't find anyone local to fix you up and can live without your PCM for a few days.

well my dads a mechanic and him & i are the ones that do all the work to my car. we have a code reader and the only codes that come up are rear O2's. it doesnt act up everyday but when it does its usaully on the hiway and doesnt want to shift into a higher gear until i let off then get back on. obviously its an automatic too.

If your dad is an auto mechanic he will agree that the back O2s are ONLY to monitor the cats. I wouldn't lie; have no reason to I am 100% sure that back O2s and trans issues are seperate.
Having to let off under heavy throttle to have a car shift can be a bad sign of work-to-come in the tranny.

have you checked your tranny fluid? if it doesn't want to shift, that might be a reason.
