Just because he lives in Sweden doesn't mean the car was delivered there originally. Which is why the questions about what he had on the car before his mods and what he did with the sensors afterwards.

A flashing CEL accompanied by an engine miss is classic with the emission/exhaust? I redily acknowledge that you know way more about Boxes than I ever will. However, I can't tell you how many times that coincidence has caused me and others I know to go down a rat hole because "it must have been the .... that was installed last week!" For sure I've seen a lot of mod/maintenance induced failures as well, but a flashing CEL and a miss are not symptoms of any O2 sensor/high flow exhaust issue that I've ever encountered.

What is "classic" about it? I have to assume you've encountered something similar before...

Last touched, first suspected. Plus while working, he may well have disturbed something. Which is why first thing is get a look at the codes.

As I read the forums, I see people all the time struggling with getting their emissions related warnings under control after changing the cats. Be the first to admit I don't know much about ROW cars but if we can get some facts out maybe others can help. It's the specifics we lack.
