You removed catalytic converter on a 1987 Pontiac fiero now the idle is real high service engine light is on Is there any kind of a oxygen sensor loop or something you can plug in to fix problem?
Removing the catalytic converter on your 1987 Pontiac Fiero can cause the engine control unit (ECU) to receive incorrect readings, leading to a high idle and the service engine light being triggered. One common solution is to install an oxygen sensor simulator or a dummy load to trick the ECU into thinking the catalytic converter is still present. Alternatively, you may need to adjust the idle speed manually or check for any vacuum leaks that could be contributing to the high idle. It's also advisable to have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes to identify any specific issues.
