o2 sensor problem or more?
So - I did a header install about a week ago and I got around to doing some data logging for a tune. Bank 1 was running +14-18 and Bank 2 was all 0's for fuel trims.
For clarification I am running the old CF 2 piece Haltech intake and it has like 102+mm MAF sensor diameter area. Is this just a sensor issue? Another idea that has been thrown around is an exhaust leak? EDIT: Rear o2 sensors are removed and I have no FRONT o2 sensor DTCs. |
Exhaust leaks would be a good place to start looking. An O2 sensor generates a voltage signal based on the difference in oxygen content in the air in the exhaust and the air just outside the exhaust. The less of a difference you have, the leaner the computer thinks it's running. An exhaust leak in the right spot would put exhaust on the outside of the sensor, causing it to see very little difference. Thus tricking the computer into thinking it's running lean and it will try to compensate by adding fuel. Which will actually cause it to run rich.
An issue with the air intake or MAF should in theory cause an issue in both banks not just the one. |
I guess I'm just confused because the fuel trims on the one bank will NOT fluctuate from zero but at the same time I have no o2 DTCs so I have no clue if the sensor could also be fried/etc
|
Any codes being thrown?

Does bank 2 just stick at 0? Or does it bounce around between 0 and +1? Exhaust leak is a good place to start... like was said already. That's what I would be hoping for! |

Yep. Weird. Can you log O2 voltage? I can't remember if it is my sct or bluetooth module that shows the raw sensor voltages.
Just try loosening the headers and retightening them. It took me a bunch of tries to get everything happy at the manifold/midpipe flange when i did HF cats. It was a PITA to get it to seal. |

On another note - my STFTs do fluctuate. Does that not take o2 sensor readings into consideration? It literally is JUST my Bank 2 LTFTs that are stuck at 0 |
o2 sensor voltages
http://i44.tinypic.com/2wrqbk9.jpg I have some updates - did a very quick log of o2 sensor voltage and got some more trouble codes. P0140, P0141, P0160, P0161, and finally P0154 It definitely seems to be the passenger side cylinder bank http://www.obd-codes.com/p0154 It is weird though - it's like bank 2 is going into closed loop while bank 1 isn't? but the range for bank 2 (0.45 - 0.58V) seems too narrow based on the above information? I will try get another log in the middle of the day and at a better operating temp. |
I haven't looked those codes up, but that is an interesting graph. The one fluctuating rapidly looks like it should i think. The stft should bounce from lean to rich repeatedly. That's how they find stoich.
Check that bank 1 header! |

This stuff has always been confusing as hell to me. I wish I knew more about how the system worked and what this all means.
It would have to be a decent size leak I'd think. I've had leaks that never messed with the fuel trims and sensors. I've also had them that did. |
