Getting code 45(not because of O2 sensor)
Getting code 45(not because of O2 sensor)
The SES light comes on usually when I'm cruising on the freeway. It has also come on after going WOT on the freeway and when I let off it will come on. Also my milage has really decresed lately, down to 11 mpg, all around town driving though. It's not the oxygen sensor, I replaced that. It's not the thermostat I replaced the 160 with a 180. I do have one spark plug wire that is a little burnt from my headers.(Where can I buy one moroso wire?) Now I suspect it is the hypertech chip which I have heard nothing good about.(I didn't put it in the previous owner did) Would it be a good idea to replace it with the stock chip or some other chip? Please help me!

If you have a bad wire, EMI noise can cause false triggering of code 45.
Also, if the MAF sees abnormally high Airflow, (removed screens) poorly designed CAI, it can cause a fuel enrichment at cruise triggering a code 45.
Is your vacuum line connected to the FPR, this again will enrich the mixture causing, a code 45.
Also a bad TPS, or a saturated charcoal canister.
Just a few things to look for.
