With a non-fouler installed the test pipe can periodically cause a CEL, but NOT hesitation.

ok, guys, the previous owner install a "spacer" on the 2nd O2 sensor, and still have a CEL.. and hasitates... Also I found a one of the Vacumm lines of the intake manifold not very tight and secure, and that is the same line he pulled the boost gage reading will that cause it to hasitate??? thanks for the info so far..
