  Just for the record, I haven't gotten the CKC module to work yet.
(Although now I think I know why.) You WILL get a check engine light
without some sort of fakery (or a high flow cat). Some people just
take out the cat and don't worry about the check engine light. It
doesn't hurt anything, but I don't like to have the light on because
it could hide other (real) problems. I could just buy a module, but
I'm having fun screwing around with this one. :-)
