what did you do with your secondary o2 sensor? If you are gona pop it out you have to put in a o2 simulator. My check engine light always comes on for that reason so I just pulled out the little light

Re: check engine!!!!!!!!!!

My CEL was on for a while giving out lots of codes. Fixed the secondary oxy sensor, and all codes went away, CEL has been off for 400 miles now.

Re: check engine!!!!!!!!!!

I believe the 95-96's don't throw the CEL and the 97-99 do. I have an N1 downpipe and exhaust and no CEL for me. Something to do vs. OBDI vs. OBDII. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

Re: check engine!!!!!!!!!!

95 and 96 are OBD2, Although it started in 96 i believe the 95 Mitsu's went to OBD2 before everyone had to. So i doubt that has to do with it. Also an oil leak wouldn't throw a code. There could be a thousand reasons why your CEL is on, just have someone check it out.

Re: check engine!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know what that would be but... on my car i had a Head Gasket leak... so everytime i reset my battery it would go away and then the next day it would come back on....."check engine light" but i fighted that head gasket problem and no more lights for the past month... so that leak might be cuasing it..
