DIY: Antifouler Mod
This DIY is for an EVO, but the same applies for the tC. You need to attach this to your S-PIPE not the header.
Notes before starting
- you might have space for only 1 spark plug anti-fouler, sometimes using 1 will work/sometimes not
- having an electric drill helps out tremendously , those battery operated ones dont have that much power; they will still work but will be a pain
- this may still not solve your problem of the light; a small amount of people that try this 'quick fix' still cant get the light to go off
STEP 1
-purchase 2 spark plug anti foulers at your local auto parts store
-18 mm size
-made by HELP brand / part number 42002
-HELP has also another part number 42009 and are shorter in length than the 42002, i have heard they worked , but i am not 100 percent
STEP 2
-disconnect the negative terminal on your battery. this will reset your ecu
-take one of the anti foulers and drill out its center using a 1/2 bit ,
-this will increase its hole size and allow your stock o2 sensor to fit
STEP 3
-screw the drilled spark plug anti-fouler on top of the original
-be sure to use some kind of anti-seize on the treads. in case you need to remove your fix with ease
STEP 4
-unscrew your stock o2 sensor and place your cel / ses fix in
-use anti seize on the threads
-clean your cell (by wiping it off with a paper towel)
STEP 5
-reinstall your o2 sensor
-use anti seize on the threads
STEP 6
-reconnect your battery (your ecu is reset)
-you have just solved the problem of the 'damn light keeps coming on'
ps. its cost me 8 dollars for the pack of 2 spark plug anti-foulers

well ive had my dc headers on for about4 months now and the anti fouler didnt work.
so i had to reset it all the time but some times it would go away while driving and then come back on.but all of a sudden it went aoo and has been off 4 about 4 weeks which is great. i guess the car just got used to it.
