Default Does the check engine light pull timing

I removed my cats and I installed the o2 sims awhile back. Every now and then I get the check engine light. But I usually just reset it while driving and it doesnt come back on. But when it is on is the ecu pulling timing out. I know on my buddies mustang he did the same and he has the check engine light on and he said it is pulling 5 degrees out on his car.

As far as I know the Check engine is strictly emissions reporting and does not interact with engine controls but I could be wrong. Have you looked at the codes to see what is being reported?

If you're just getting HO2B1S2 and B2S2 low voltage codes, timing is not being affected.

I think it depends on the codes.

I remember that clearing the codes at the track one time netted me 3mph. Might just have been dumb luck.
