02 sensor

[BOBCAT]

This is what I got from AutoZone

Troublecode 0bdII (Alpha) P Code

Trobleshooting P0430The PCM has determined that the catalyst system efficiency for bank 2 is below threshold for the current engine operating conditions. (bank 1 identifies the location of cylinder #1. while bank 2 identifies the cylinders on the opposite bank 1)

Can anyone tell me which sensor it is?

i can't help with your sensor issue but i was hoping you could tell me where you got the nissan humping honda gif. i love it and i would like to put it on my myspace page. i searched google like crazy and came up with nothing.

The P0430 isn't actually an O2 code but denotes that the bank 2 warmup cat is not functioning properly. Bank 2 is the side closest to the radiator.

Here is a list of codes for the 5th gen .zerothread?id=126537

Just right click and save as.

What does that mean? Cat is bad? sensor is bad? my car is about to blow up?

[maxhopper]

It could mean that the warmup cat (just below the exhaust manifold) is bad. Like Fezzik said on 502; there is an ECU program that could possibly help, but you may still have to replace the warmup cat.

Not sure about the VQ30, but I have seen others have similar codes when the honeycomb section of the pre-cat falls apart and patrially blocks the main cat in the VQ35.

I just got off the phone with Cattman and they guy told me to fix this issue, i would have to get a header set. 817 dollars if i do the maxima org thing. How much would it cost to put it on after i receive it?

[BOBCAT]

Just talked to the guy again and he said it will be a 6 hr job and it should be done on a lift. Does anyone know who i should go to to get this part installed?

My car throws that code when I use cheap low octane gas. It goes away if I add a bottle of octane boost. As far as installation, your best bet would be a local muffler shop. If they run into fitment problems, they have the means to correct it. You may want to check them out first, sometimes they can get parts cheaper...--Mike

Call Autolab.

[BOBCAT]

for some reason they dont answer any of my questions on 502. Looks like I will have to call them.

I agree with Mike G. My engine light came on 2x after my teenager put cheap gas in the car. Mechanic told me my 02 sensor needed replaced. But 7-10 days after filling up with 89-octane gas the light went off. (both times)
