You probably need a O2 simulator, because those are the codes that are probably popping up. What codes do you have? If its the O2 sensors then you can always weld bungs on the headers and reconnect your sensors.

there are 4 sensors, two primary (before cat) and two secondary (after cat)...

the two primary control your air fuel ratio and give the ECU feedback, the two secondaries make sure the catalytic converters are working properly... if you don't have catalytic converters, the two secondaries will still show codes because they are telling the ecu that there are no catalytic converters...

What needs to happen is just unplug the two secondaries and plug the wires into o2 simulators... Tokensolutions makes one for the IS, I'm sure other companies do too...
