fault code P0031 & P0037

ok I have seen older posts related to this but here ie my senario. 02 sentra SE-R just replaced engine with a 06 altima 2.5L engine complete. I used intake fuel injectors and throttle body. got everything hooked up car started up fine after fuel and oil got to everything. drove car for about 5 miles. turned off car check for any leaks. nothing. drove car to fill up gas tank to chk mileage with diff eng installed and the SES lite came on. before eng install no problems with the sensors. had installed the #1 o2 sensor about 1,500 miles ago. time is about a month, because of the precat failure causing oil consumption thus the engine change. now with the new eng I did added a hotshot header and put the #1 o2 senser in the hole that is in the last header pipe cyl #4. the #2 o2 sensor I moved back behind the 2nd cat and extended the wiring harness on that sensor up to the harness where it orig plug in by the exhaust manifold. the wires on the #2 sensor were soldered.

like I said everthing was working until the engine change. because the #1 sensor is located in only 1 pipe of the header instead of the exh manifold at the base of all for pipes like the original exh manifold the heat might not be as high causing the sensor to read funny. could that be a problem for the sensor temperature. Or does those codes not have anything to do with the temp and its just for voltage current being low.

You sure you have those numbers right? I don't see anything below 100 (i.e. P0100). Make sure your scanner is in the right mode.

yes it has the 2.5Leng and looking at my Man. on CD it says DTC P0031 & P0037 codes for the O2 sensors.

I'm at a loss. I don't see those codes in the FSM.

Regardless, we'll go ahead and assume that info is right. Double check your wiring from when you extended the wires. I had a shop screw that up when my sensor was moved back.

Alternatively, you could try the spark plug defouler trick or a ghetto (electronic) sim.
