thats cool, i need to stop being cheap and just get one. But my question was never really answered. Is it, or is it not common for the cell to come on when started and than go off after about 15secs?

this is what should happen, and how you should start your car:

turn the key to the on possision till all the lights come on in the cluster, leave it there till the CEL goes off. then start the car. the CEL should not be on...

ok, will do today.

Well, i've been letting the cell go away before i start the car. The past two days, i have yet to get the cell while i am driving, so i'm hoping for the best. And i've come to the conclusion that the cell will always come on when the car is first turned on.

That is how it should be. The CEL will come on as the ECU runs through everything verifying that everything is ready to go.

Not for 15 seconds...it usually lasts as long as it takes for the fuel pump to prime (1-2 secs).

well, the light came back on again today going down the road. Also, the cell is starting to not want to go off. I had to start the car to get it to go off. I dunno whats the deal, but i'm abouts to throw it out. I've been reading about the PR4 is compatible but the tables are slightly different. I'm just frusterated with it and just don't care about it anymore. We've all been there before, so i will more than likely find a PR4 to run till i can get this thing figured out.

converted my 1-wire o2 to a 4-wire o2, put the P06 ecu back to stock and what do ya know, everything works and runs great. So, I am definitely 100% positive it was the chip that i was running. Thanks for all your guys help though.
