well your rear o2 sensor shouldn't have anything to do with your remote start. i'll explain more when i get back. got to pick up the mother as she hates winter driving

Thanks for the help man!!!! When I clear the check engine code everything works and the only code that comes up when plugged into the scanner is the emissions code. So its got to do with the check engine light, some safety thing when its on. Everything else on the car works great!!!!

ya could be. been a while since i've had to deal with customer remote start problems. either way get it tuned out or put in a spacer which is what the spark plug fowlers are

Where would i find these spacers and Im guessing these go on the o2 sensor pulling it out from the exhaust flow?? Or can I just through some washers in and that be enough?? Or if I go the tuning rout how much would that cost and would that give it more power and better gas millage??

well tuning depends on the tuner doing it. and the fowlers should be found at any parts store. the thing about it is you have to drill them and thread them if i'm not mistaken

Any autoparts store should have them around their nuts and bolts section. Bought mine at O'rilieys. They may be labeled as "Spark Plug non fouler"

The ones I bought you didnt need to drill or thread.

Just make sure you tighten the fouler onto the o2 sensor before you put it back in so as to not mess up the o2 sensor.

Thanks guys very helpful!!! I'll check into this, the exhaust is all stock except the flex piece and the strait pipe that I replaced the cat with. It gave it alittle growl to it.
