bought catalyst used with sensors on it..
Which side catalyst did you replace, right side only?
Why did you replace it - what codes did you have before the replacement?
1. After replacing catalyst about 2 weeks code p0158 and p0159 on bank 2 sensor 2 so replaced it with old one from old catalyst.
That's when I felt the sputter in gas pedal..same code popped up..p0158'p0159..
2. so bought Bosch sensors put them on both downstream bank 1,2 and got p1041,p1061 heater circuit malfunction on both banks..gas was still sputter..
3. Took them off and put old bank 1 sensor 2 that came with catalyst and replaced bank 2 sensor 2 with catinbow sensor..gas pedal is slower and still sputter a little..nothing like before replacing sensor..I can't understand it..why my gas pedal is not normal..is not burning gas like before but my pedal is not normal..so what can it be..thanks for responding.
So are there any codes right now? I can't find any info on the P1041 and P1061 for an 02 Q45 at this very moment.
Do you have the stock air intake?
I would check that system for leaks. It doesn't seem related, but it's interesting that both downstream sensors are correlating with your sputtering.
Also, can you record a video of what exactly your vehicle is doing that you describe as gas pedal sputtering?
