------------------- Hi Hans, I would check the voltage output on the O2 sensor with a hot engine (warmed up). If it is bouncing above and below 0.5 volts your digijet system is doing the best it can do. You must use a digital volt meter. Radio shack has them for less than $25 and I just got a flier from circuit specialists at www.web-tronics.com with one for $19. If the voltage is ok then your best choice is to install a cat. I have seen many cars pass smog inspection here in Illinois without a cat. Darrell
