Recently i got a single in duel out Flowmaster put on my 2001 Sport 4.0 SOHC. The day i got it put on like about 6 hours later the check engine light came on. My friend told me to disconnect the battery for like 15 minutes and try it. It did go offbut like a few minutes it came back on. It was a cat back system so i thought maybe the o2 sensor was messed up. Any ideas would be great so contct me ok thanks.:(

To be able to offer help, we first need to know the codes associated with the illumination of the CEL.
 






i don't know where to find the codes. Do you

You have to use an OBD II scanner to get them. If you don't have one, some auto parts stores will do a free scan for you.

Good luck..........
 






Autozone will do it for free.
 






i would think that maybe the exhaust shop guys did something to trip the CEL. it is (in theory) impossible for a cat-back exaust to throw a CEL... just my $0.02
 






i agree with james........
just my $0.02, which makes a total of $0.04 haha just messin
 






Exactly. I'm sure it will just be a coincidence.
 






They may have damaged an 02 sensor when they did the install. When you get the code, we will see.
