Default New Headers On, So is Check Engine Light...Help!

So about a week ago I managed to install my new headers (a pain in the azz). Everything has been great for the last week. All of a sudden last night I started the car and I got the Check Engine Light. I know that it has to do with the emissions. Could it be the O2 sensor? I haven't had a chance to run a diagnostic yet. I know that it's really nothing to worry about, just anoying.
:confused: :confused:

I bet it is the 02 codes. Very common....no biggie other than the light is a PIA! Pull the code and post it. Unless you burned a wire or have a bad plug and it is a misfire, but you would know if it was a misfire. Get 02 simms or have them programmed out.

Yep, on mine I had a pin that would slide in and out of the connector real pain, but just take your time and you'll get it. :thumbs:
